VAT on services from Ireland

I was just about to file my first MTD VAT return when I realised that some of the services I am using come from companies based in Ireland (Adobe, Dropbox).

I had never given them my VAT number (I’ve only just come off the flat rate scheme, so it wasn’t an issue before) so they have charged me the gross amount - of course, I can’t reclaim Irish VAT from HMRC, so I just wondered how I should record it in Quickfile? Should I just record the gross figure and apply zero VAT?

I have now given both companies my VAT number and I am just waiting for my account details to be updated so I should be able to apply the VAT Reverse Charge in future - I was just wondering what I should do in the interim.

Yes - since you can’t claim back the VAT it becomes part of the net cost to you.
