Can anyone tell me how to account for VAT where a non-EU supplier has issued an invoice without VAT?
Do I add the vat on the purchase record even though it wasn’t charged? But then how do I make sure I’m not then claiming something back that I haven’t actually been charged in the first place?
Thanks, appreciate your help. As I understand it, I still need to charge it to myself, is that correct? In which case, how would I go about doing that?
VAT on services received from overseas suppliers
When you buy services from suppliers in other countries, you may have to account for the VAT yourself - depending on the circumstances. This is called the ‘reverse charge’, and is also known as ‘tax shift’. Where it applies, you act as if you are both the supplier and the customer - you charge yourself the VAT
Depends on whether it’s goods or services, what type of services and the place of supply, generally speaking a Non-EU supplier would most likely be outside the scope of VAT.
Thanks Joe, they are domain registration company based in Canada. I guess that’s outside the scope, then. But what if it was within the scope of VAT, what then?
