I am trying to use Quickfile to do accounting for sales made in Germany. When I previously tried this, it seemed to allow me to charge VAT at 19% but then make it Out of Scope for UK so it wouldn’t appear on my UK MTD. This is fine because my German VAT is filed separately by an agency and I only need it for record keeping.
But now Quickfile seems to prevent charging VAT if Out of Scope for UK is selected. Is there no way to restore the previous functionality? I can’t find a menu choice for it.
Hello @J671
Generally in QuickFile you should only be using the UK vat rates
The below thread is on a similar issue and may help
Hi @QFSteve ! Thanks for a very quick reply.
So this is a sale inside Germany to a German customer and indeed, it should be at 19% based on the local VAT rules. I’ve got that set-up already. We’ve got our German VAT number too. I just really need to generate them an invoice that has the German VAT, but make sure that VAT is not counted in the UK MTD return (we have a seperate system for filing German VAT).
I suppose I could show it as a seperate line item as a back-up. But this is messy and potentially confusing.
I could swear when I checked before Quickfile allowed me to set an invoice as Out of Scope for UK VAT (which it is) but it still add the 19% on the line item.

You can, but as soon as the " Out of Scope for UK VAT" tick box is ticked the vat rate will be set to 0% as this it the normal use case.
You can however then change the vat rate back to 19% and it will save as per the example below
Hi @QFSteve Ahh right cool! I thought it could. But am I right in saying you have to click Save Details to make it work and have the client set to Non-UK? Either way, it seems to be working! Thanks!
