The Destination VAT icon enables a different VAT status to be given to each of the Sales Ledger Customer Addresses.

It is found on the Multiple Addresses window for Sales Ledger Customers.

This is not available on the Purchase Ledger Supplier Addresses window.

When entering SOP Orders, the correct VAT rules will be applied depending on the VAT Status for the Delivery Address selected.

Rules

It is not possible to change the VAT Status of an address shown in the Multiple Address window once that Address has been used for any Transaction.

If you do not know the VAT Registration number, when entering the address, it can be left blank. You can use this address and enter the number later. Orders placed for a Delivery address with no VAT Registration number will not be zero-rated automatically. These orders can be corrected in the batch when the VAT Registration number has been entered on the Delivery address on the Customer record.

If an Order is batched, you are only permitted to change the Delivery Address if the new address has the same VAT status as that originally entered.

The Destination VAT window is similar to the VAT window opened from the Customer record window.

The VAT Status menu enables the selection of a VAT status, it will default to match the VAT status of the Customer record.
