Applying VAT reverse change on purchase invoices

I have just noticed that purchase invoice that are entered via the receipt hub and are from the EC the ‘Apply VAT reverse charge’ is not happening. The Supplier details have the Vat setting marked as VAT Registered in another EC member state. If I enter the purchase invoice manually it lets you tick the Apply VAT reverse charge box.
Have I missed some setting?

Hi @Jean1959,

Unfortunately you have to go back into these invoices to make sure that the settings are correct. It can’t be done directly from the receipt hub.

I personally have found it easier to enter these outside of the receipt hub and then you can search and attach the file afterwards

Are these purchases for goods or services? Be aware that despite the label, the “apply reverse charge” checkbox does not apply the reverse charge, instead it applies the rules for purchases of goods from an EU supplier where you have to account for the acquisition tax. QuickFile does not support the reverse charge so if you’re buying services then you will need to use some kind of workaround - there are a few ways to do it which you’ll find if you search other threads on this forum.

Thank you Ian for your advise. I was aware of this but got caught out by using the receipt hub and not going back to the invoice and correcting it. I thought as it was set up as an EU supplier it would automatically work.
