Summary

How to use the VIES report to help you complete your VIES Return for the Revenue in Sage Accounting.

Description

 TIP: Brexit update - Until 31 December 2020, you'll only need to report VIES and Intrastat for sales to Great Britain (England, Scotland, Ireland). 

If you deal with VAT registered customers within the EU, you can use the VIES report to help you complete your VIES Return for Revenue.

The report shows the following details:

  • The customer’s country code
  • VAT registration number
  • The type of transaction
  • The total value of goods and related services supplied
  • The total value of stand-alone services

The customer must register for EU VAT with a valid VAT number to appear on the report.
