On the toolbar of a Stock record, clicking the EC Info displays a window in which you can enter the information about the stock item that is required for the SSD returns (You will need to have the SSD Module). In addition, you can specify whether the EU Reverse Charge VAT for supplying services is applicable to the stock item (this is required for the EC Sales List report).

The information entered in the fields below is reported on the Intrastat Arrivals and Dispatches reports.

  • You must enter this information for all stock records so that it is available for these reports.

  • There is no opportunity to add this information when transactions are entered.

  • It is your responsibility to ensure that you report the correct information.

  • Whether Net Mass or Supplementary Units are required is dependent on the Commodity code used.

Service

All stock records for which EU Reverse Charge VAT for supplying services is applicable, should be flagged. Click on the Service check box to flag. When entering a transaction and a stock record is selected that is flagged as a Service, the Service flag is automatically set as 'On' and the VAT code 'X' set as the default. Refer to EU VAT Codes for Supplying Services for details.

Apply Place of Supply VAT Rules

Tick the checkbox to indicate that Place of Supply VAT Rules apply, so that the correct VAT Rate is used on a Sales Order Detail line and when reporting your VAT Return.
