I'm just filling out a VAT return online for the first time and am struggling. A lot of our sales are to other EC Member States as well as to UK (and a few to US and Australia). For Box 6, Total Sales exluding VAT - do I include ALL sales in this box to all countries? Or just sales to UK & other EU countries? I was going to put sales to EU countries in Box 8 (which then has to be included in box 6). Afterwards I'll complete an EC sales list for them as they are all VAT registered in their own countries. Therefore do I NOT include sales to US and Australia in box 6? Please can someone help me. Many thanks.
How to complete Box 6 and Box 7 Box 6: your total sales excluding VAT
Enter the total figure for your sales (excluding VAT) for the period, that is, the sales on which you charged the VAT you put in Box 1. Additionally, you should also include:
any zero-rated and exempt sales or other supplies you made any amount you put in Box 8 goods or services you have supplied that are subject to the reverse charge goods or services that you have purchased that are subject to the reverse charge exports outside the EU
So yes, you should include the sales to Australia and US in box 6....
