Hi,
I have received an invoice from a company based in Germany on Incoterm DDP (delivery duty paid). The invoice shows the 20% VAT element on the items and VAT has been included in the money paid.
My problem comes in entering this invoice.
The supplier is German, with a UK branch website, where the products were ordered.
Their invoice shows a DE and UK EORI number and a UK VAT number - no German VAT number to add to their account detail.
I can't add their EORI number as it's not long enough (Sage wants DE + 9 digits but it only has 7 digits). I can't add the UK VAT number as Sage automatically prefixes it DE - but I think that would be incorrect anyway?
What's the best way to deal with entering the invoice? Should I omit the VAT altogether for the invoice and add it as an adjustment on the return? Or will this screw things up in the long run because I don't have the correct registration numbers on the transaction?
Thanks!
Annie
