I have an AVG invoice to record for anti virus software. They are based in the Netherlands and there is no VAT on the invoice, however, at the bottom of the invoice it says "The person to whom the service is rendered is liable to declare and pay any VAT pursuant to article 196 of the Council Directive 2006/112/EC" Is it a purchase from EC (in which the factsheet attached looks pretty straight forward, by the looks of it I both pay VAT and claim it back) or is it a reverse charge, in which case I need to get my head round the instructions
The wording is standard Reverse Charge wording. The recipient, whose UK VRN should be on the invoice, has to account for the Output Tax in Box 1, and then reclaim (subject to the usual rules) in Box 4.
