Handling VAT Return with EU Services

Hi, I’m inexperienced when it comes to business and I’m busy trying to sort out my first ever VAT Return using QuickFile. It was all going quite well until I realised that one of our expenses is a £60 service charge from the Apple Store (iOS Developer Program), including Irish VAT charged at 23%!

I have read all I can on these forums and have a vague idea on how to handle it but I’m still a little unsure and confused so any help would be greatly appreciated (due to deadlines, I’m having to do this on Christmas day).

I have Apple as a supplier and have entered their VAT Number and also checked ‘VAT Registered in another EC Member State’ in VAT Settings. In addition, I have made a purchase invoice for the order, adjusted the VAT Rate to 23% and made sure that ‘Apply VAT Reverse Charge’ is selected/checked. This is what I have and I’m not sure if it’s right:

Sub Total: 48.78
VAT: 11.22
EC VAT EXEMPTION: -11.22
Gross Total: 48.78
Paid to Date: 48.78
Balance (GBP): 0.00

In addition, here’s an identical question from a user of FreeAgent. I’ve read the solution and I’m wondering how to do the same in QuickFile:

I’m stressing about it so any help would be fantastic and I’m happy to provide more info wherever necessary!

Thanks,
John

Which solution? The VAT exclusive invoice option seems easy enough to do. There’s probably a few different ways of doing it in Quickfile. Which part specifically are you having trouble with?
