Sale of services to Spain

Hi @KatL 

 

Since January 2021, any supply of goods to an EU country are treated as Rest of the World.

(you may have read about something called Brexit in the news Smiley Wink )

Supply of services has always been (& remains) a bit of a dog's breakfast.  There are a number of if, buts & maybes that could change the answer - so your accountant really is the one best placed to give advice.

 

See https://www.gov.uk/guidance/vat-how-to-work-out-your-place-of-supply-of-services which will give you the broad picture.

 

In terms of VAT Codes in QB, the software can only account to UK HMRC - so I'd use a Z=0% code to charge zero VAT but also carry the sale on to the VAT100.  However, you may need to register & account for EU VAT in Spain.

Hello KatL, 

 

Welcome to the Community page, 

 

We cant advise which codes to use unfortunately as we are not trained accountants just technical support. You could ask your accountant to perhaps check with one of their colleagues as they might know or could speak to HMRC on which to put it against.
