I need to post a sales invoice for web design services to non vat registered client from ec.
HMRC tell me it needs to be included in box 6 of vat return but not box 8 but my accountants tell me it should be posted as T9 (outside scope of vat) which I dont think goes on vat return??
Assuming that the customer is a business, then the place of supply of the service will be where the customer belongs. The sale will be outside the scope of UK VAT (as your accountant said) but VAT Notice 700/12 says that "supplies which are outside the scope of UK VAT as described in Notice 741A Place of supply of services" should be included in box 6.
