Invoicing for digital goods with VAT

[Svetlana_Faulkner]

Hello,

I wonder if you could help with the following. I sell digital tutorials and have to charge my customers VAT on these. Is it possible to issue QF invoices with different VAT rates depending on the EU county my customer is from?
I do not charge VAT on physical goods yet, as I am under the UK threshold for that, that’s why my knowledge of VAT invoices is somewhat limited. But I suppose if my customer wants to claim VAT back they need a VAT invoice from me.

Thank you for you help.
Kind Regards,

Svetlana

Hi @Svetlana_Faulkner

You can set up additional VAT rates in the Advanced Features area of your Account Settings. The below thread may be of some help with this here:

Various Vat Rates for EC Countries

You can set any custom VAT rates on your account in QuickFile although I’m afraid some of the forum discussions may be out dated now. To set your custom sales and purchase VAT rates go to Account Settings >> Company Settings and click on the Advanced Features tab. From here you can enter a comma separated list of VAT Rates. [image] I will also look at getting the ICPA added to the list of regulators.

However, it’s worth noting that the VAT rates won’t appear on invoices unless VAT is enabled on your account.

Surely you should be charging VAT on your physical sales too, since you are VAT registered - you may be below the threshold but if you’re registered for UK VAT voluntarily (which you have to be in order to use MOSS for digital sales) then you have to charge it on everything.

Edit: sorry, I misunderstood the HMRC guide.

Thank you for your comment Ian, much appreciated. According to my knowledge and HMRC I should not charge VAT on my physical sales at the moment. I had to register for UK VAT to be able to use VAT MOSS scheme. But I have to only submit nil UK VAT returns in my case. This proves too much as it is in my opinion.

Thank you very much for such prompt reply. I apologise for so many questions, but would it be possible to only use VAT invoices for digital goods and not for physical? Can this feature be turned on and off when required?
