Import VAT

[agrimek]

Hi there,

I Have a problem. We import parts from the USA and get an invoice from the supplier not showing any vat (so I use t0)

We then get an invoice from our international forwarder showing airfreight(t0), import duty(t0) and import vat(t?). The vat element covers their charges, airfreight and the supplier invoice as they have to pay customs on our behalf.

How do I show the import vat and get it to come up on our vat return?

I have tried to create a new tax code with a 100% rating and then crediting the original amount of vat back from the supplier with a T0 code but this looks a little messy in the supplier activity tab

Is there any better way of doing this?

Many Thanks

Gareth

The items are outside the EEC so they should be T9 outside the scope of VAT.

The VAT item is T1 0 value, and the vat amount get overwritten with the actual.
