Sell services to an overseas business (UK)
Description

When you sell services to a VAT registered business in a different country, VAT is zero rated.

Cause
Resolution

Create a sales invoice

  1. Go to Sales, Sales Invoices, and select New Invoice.
  2. In the Customer field, select your overseas customer from the list, or type the customer name. If the customer is not a saved contact, select Add a customer to create a record for them.
     TIP: Make sure each customer has the correct country set on their address and a VAT registration number where applicable  
  3. On the first invoice line enter a description.
  4. In Goods/Services select Services (standalone). The VAT will be zero-rated and cannot be edited.
    Repeat on a new line for as many items as you need to add to your invoice.
  5. Select Save.

The VAT return

Sales of services are reported in Box 6 - total value of sales and all other outputs excluding any VAT.

The VAT on sales is zero-rated so there is no VAT value recorded on the return.
