Summary
How to create a sales invoice when selling services to UK consumers in Sage Accounting.
Description
Overview for businesses in Ireland
When you sell services to a non-VAT registered customer in Great Britain or Northern Ireland (a UK consumer), VAT is charged at the Irish (home) rate.
Resolution
Create a sales invoice
- Go to Sales, Sales Invoices, and select New Invoice.
- In the Customer field, select your customer from the list, or type the customer name. If the customer is not a saved contact, select Add a customer to create a record for them.
TIP: Make sure each customer has the correct country set on their address. - On the first invoice line, select a service from the list, or start typing its name to find it. If the service is not a saved item, enter a description for the item or select Create item to create a record for it.
- In EU Goods/Services select Services (standalone). Select the VAT rate that you would apply if the purchase was made in Ireland.
- Repeat on a new line for as many items as you need to add to your invoice.
- Select Save.
The VAT Return
Sales of services to UK consumers are reported in Box T1 - VAT on Sales.
