This is a guide on Intrastat in Sage 50 Accounts, including what it is, how to set up Sage 50 Accounts for Intrastat, how to confirm Intrastat arrivals and dispatches, as well as how to troubleshoot any issue you might have when processing Intrastat.

Overview

 Important: From 1 January 2022, movements of goods between Great Britain and the EU, or Great Britain and Northern Ireland, are no longer covered by Intrastat. Northern Ireland businesses are still covered by Intrastat as part of the Northern Ireland Protocol. For more information about this and other changes, visit our Legislation Help Centre >

Intrastat is the system that records statistics for the physical trade in goods between EU Member States. 

 Important: Intrastat is only available in Sage 50 Accounts Professional.

 NOTE: Only the supply of goods is included, not the supply of services. 

If you meet the HMRC or Revenue thresholds for arrivals or dispatches, you must submit monthly Supplementary Declaration forms for dispatches and arrivals to or from EU countries. If you meet an additional Delivery Terms threshold, you also have to provide delivery codes for the terms of delivery on the intrastat returns.

In Sage 50 Accounts Professional you can produce an Intrastat report, set defaults for how these reports are created, confirm goods that are to be included in the declarations and produce a CSV report which can be submitted to HMRC. Once the goods on an order have been flagged as Intrastat reconciled they are not included on future returns. Intrastat returns in Sage Accounts are based on the information entered for sales and purchase orders.

 NOTE: You can't submit the Intrastat Report directly from Sage Accounts.
