Registering for VAT

[UkDirectHost]

Well, we have passed the VAT threshold and are now being forced to register for VAT.

 

Does anyone have any advice on how to setup WHMCS to add the VAT (from 4th January it will be 20%!!). I could of course do it globablly for all products, but what happens if someone from another country other than the UK signs up? (We have about 45% of our clients not located in the UK).

 

Can anyone else give me insight please in what they do.

 

Regards,

 

Shane

set up the tax rule setup>>payments>>tax rule to whatever country you want to add VAT too. then make sure you have the add tax option ticket on all products and then tax will be charged to all products ordered by anyone from the countries you have tax added .

Oh jeez, thanks a million. You have just saved me a major headache. I didn't even see that option in creating a new rule.

If you work from this list as the countries you must charge VAT to you will be sorted.

 

Also remember if you deal with a company that is VAT registered but outside the UK and they supply you with their EU VAT REG number you take the VAT off of their invoice.

*The European Commission has advised that the application of the 6th VAT Directive (Directive 77/388/EEC of 17 May 1977) shall be suspended in those areas of Cyprus in which the Government of the Republic of Cyprus does not exercise effective control. Goods to these destinations continue to be eligible for zero-rating as exports.

If you run this in phpmyadmin on your WHMCS database it will add the countries in as per the UK VAT regulations who you must charge VAT to:
