Self-billing invoices

We have a self-billing arrangement with a company (that's based in the Netherlands) through an affiliate programme and just received the first "self-bill" which states that VAT is "due by the recipient under the reverse-charge mechanism (Article 196 VAR Directive 2006/112/EC".

This is income that would normally be standard-rated so I have tried recording it as a sales receipt but there doesn't appear to be a way of having a reverse-charge VAT rate on sales. I've got "20.0% RC SG" switched on, but that doesn't appear as an option, only on expenses.

We're GB-based, not NI, so no idea how to deal with this! This first payment isn't for much so could take the hit on the VAT this time, but hoping to make a big thing of this over the winter and in to next year! I've tried asking the affiliate but they have no idea.

Self-billing invoices

Hi garethaethwy, thanks for posting on the Community 

 

We're unable to advise on the specific VAT code to use and we would recommend contacting your accountant or tax professional for best practice. For support, you can also check out our complete guide on VAT codes in QuickBooks Online. This includes examples of when you would use the reverse charge and the forms on which they apply. 

 

If you don't already have an accountant, you can find a QuickBooks certified advisor near you on our online directory

 

Thanks for reaching Intuit support. We're just a post away if you have further questions or require additional assistance.
