Please can somebody help me as I am really confused. On the HMRC website it says that you should put 'exports outside EU' in box 6 - so that would be sales to US etc. However I have read elsewhere and on different forums that sales outside the EU should be marked as a T9 - outside scope of VAT.
I would appreciate if anyone could tell me which is the correct way and I apologise if this has been asked before?

Hi Nicky,
I don't use Sage on every day basis, so I cannot advise you on a correct tax code to use.
However, as far as VAT return itself, the export amount, sales outside the EU(sales within EU is not export), should be included in the figure you enter in the Box 6. When you export goods, sale of goods outside the EC, then generally the VAT is zero rated.
In the case of providing services outside the EC such a sale will be outside of scope of UK VAT.
I hope this helps.
