16.8 Recording the tax due on acquisitions in your VAT Account
You must calculate the VAT due on the acquisition of goods from other Member States (see section 7) and enter the total on the VAT payable side of your VAT account under the heading VAT due on acquisitions.
You may then deduct the VAT due on these acquisitions as input tax on the VAT deductible side of your VAT account, under the heading VAT deductible on acquisitions, subject to the normal rules for claiming input tax (see paragraph 2.13).
