Description

When importing data into Sage 50 Accounts, you may receive the following file import error:

'Error in record x: Country of VAT: Country of VAT included. Tax code not flagged as using OSS/IOSS reporting.'

Cause

This message appears when you try to import a transaction which includes a Country of VAT value, but with a tax code that's not flagged to OSS/IOSS reporting.

Resolution

To fix this error, amend the relevant line on the import file as follows then import the file again.

  • If the transaction is not an OSS/IOSS transaction, remove the Country of VAT value
