default EU tax codes

Question

I am using default tax codes T8 for EU purchases and T4 for EU sales. On the VAT return these sales/purchases on showing on boxes 7 and 8, which are goods from Northern Ireland to EU states and 
 acquisitions of goods made in NI from EU states. Am I using the correct codes? as I am not involved with NI for sales or purchases. I am slightly confused.

thanks

Hi Ann,

Thanks for your post.

There were some changes to the VAT Return in April 2021 when the UK left the EU. This affected the labelling of the boxes to recognise the Northern Ireland Protocal changes.

The VAT Return continues to function in the same way. The following articles give the descriptions of boxes 8 and 9 before and after that change in wording which should help to explain: VAT Return label changes

The following article is useful for checking which tax code to use: Which tax code should I use?
