How to allocate abnormal VAT amount

I have invoices from Fedex which mix “advancement fees” and “original VAT” for imported items.
The “advancement fees” total £24.00, the “original VAT” totals £20.69.
Do I have to generate a new VAT percentage for what are always going to be different VAT totals?

No, you can manipulate the total VAT using several lines on the purchase invoice. e.g.

Line 1 103.45 plus 20% VAT
Line 2 -103.45 plus 0% VAT

Grand total is £0.00 plus £20.69 VAT, i.e. a VAT only invoice.

Then you just add the advancement fees, although DHL would never reply to my emails or queries about what they were actually charging me as their “VAT invoice” was severely lacking in detail, so I never pay and they never follow it up.

Thanks, unhappily they did follow up. :unamused:
I even sent an email as someone suggested telling them I wasn’t going to pay their fees.

Thanks, Lurch. Did the trick.
