Hello @Bazz
I just had a look at your account and could not see any German suppliers listed?
Can you please private message me with your company name, account number, the supplier and invoice(s) in question and I will take a look for you.

Customers, not suppliers.
Thanks Steve, sent a message with invoice numbers to QFSupport
Probably just a bit of the friday feeling getting to steve!
Hi,
I am reading this:
I am about to have the same problem as @joris as I am becoming VAT register next month.
And I think I understand what @ian_roberts is explaining and suggesting.
But the topic is closed and it is not clear what the right solution is to deal with that on Quickfile.
Also, maybe something has changed since jul 2021.
So my question is:
Thanks
To expand a little bit my question, as it is related.
Here VAT Updates - January 2021 - #27 by ian_roberts
@ian_roberts explains that
Supplies of services where the “place of supply” is not the UK are technically considered “outside the scope of UK VAT”, but you’re still supposed to include the net value in box 6 on your VAT return. @Glenn can confirm for definite but I believe that ticking the “out of scope” box in QuickFile will exclude the invoice from box 6, therefore the correct course of action in this case would be just to treat it as zero rated by selecting “no VAT”.
Then I should not mark it as out of scope so it appears on the box 6?
Probably getting a little confused on this now and may need to read this again tomorrow.
ORIGINAL POST RESOLUTION:
I managed to solve this problem with the help of QF team by copying the invoice - was able to set the correct VAT rate / out of scope setting on the copied invoice.
@expertoswp yes we’re having the same issue - @ian_roberts is setting EU sales invoices to 0% VAT like you suggested above still the best course of action? While this may work for the UK VAT return, the information on the invoice would be incorrect as the customer is paying VAT, just not in the UK (in our case it would be their EU country).
Hi Bazz,
So far when you need to setup a EU invoice with VAT, quickfile does not have an option for this.
So what we are going to do until they fix this is:
That last step needs to be done manually on each VAT return with all the amounts (on GBP) for all the clients that are marked as “out of scope” and has EU VAT.
I have outlined a way to get the figures for the adjustment below
When entering OOS invoices add a project tag (OOS- recommended)
You can then use Reports > Projects > select OOS project > to get the total net to add to box 6
You can also “Show tagged items” to get the list of invoices and export if required
Hope this helps
I am having this problem. I am not able to change the VAT for the clients.
What I have done:
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Hi @expertoswp
Are you seeing any errors when trying to do this? I’ve tried to replicate this but have not been successful:
Try to put 21% on the VAT.
Hi @expertoswp
Unfortunately, I’m still not able to replicate this. Is it possible you have any custom scripts on your account that may be preventing this? Do you see any error messages at all? Are you able to produce a short clip showing the issue (without including any sensitive data)?
All your captures are showing a VAT rate of 20%.
I need to have 21%
Are you able to put a 21% rate on VAT? Not a 20?
There are no errors, I just do not have the option to change the VAT to anything that is not 20,12.5, 5 or 0.
Thanks
In order to use non-standard VAT rates you need to first configure them in your QuickFile settings in order to add them to the drop down list of VAT rate options.
I did not find anything about that on the VAT settings.
https://support.quickfile.co.uk/t/vat-returns-guide/8910
Can you guide me to find them?
The options are under “account settings” → “advanced settings”, there’s separate options for additional sales and purchase VAT rates, and if you need several different rates for each one you can enter them all separated by commas.
Found them. Thanks!
If I can suggest, those should be moved into the VAT settings page or link them from the docs.
As a non techy user i don’t think them being in advanced is out of place. I would think the vat settings is for vat return settings. But that’s just me lol
The problem is that they only appear when you activate VAT, so probably another solution is keep them there, but they could appear disabled, so you see them and know they are there when you visit those settings (Something I do not do too often).
