Reverse charge VAT
Permalink  

Arrgh, I knew I couldn't avoid it for ever lol.

Airbnb commission as far as I can ascertain is reverse charge, so from what I've gleaned its accounted for in both input and output VAT in the EC boxes. (irish VAT) 

That just means the two are cancelled out and reading up I can make a claim to HMRC after 30th September each year, providing it's more than roughly £50. I s that correct.

I think you're conflating two things there, John.

In a reverse charge scenario, the supplier should have been given the customer's VAT registration number, and supplied the service (the Airbnb commission) net of VAT (the invoice should show the customer's VAT number). You then (as you say) account for the VAT that wasn't charged in both the inputs and outputs, so it cancels itself out from your point of view. The supplier then includes the sale on their country's equivalent to our EC Sales list return.

If they've charged the VAT (because no VAT number has been submitted) - which is what it sounds to me like your talking about - then it's not been reverse charged. You can't claim the (23% in Ireland?) on your UK VAT return at all, and don't treat it as though it's a reverse charge. In this instance, you can apply to reclaim the VAT from the country from which it has been charged, but the rules vary from country to country about when, how much (minimum amounts), and for what.

Brexit, of course - especially a no deal one - will stuff all of this up.

Hi Vince 

Glad I asked.  Yes, VAT is on the invoice but is charged at 20%, not 23%   Invoice I've just printed off is £10.19 + 2.04 VAT. but the VAT no is an Irish one.

Stick your clients vat number into his account and ask for a new invoice. Then reverse charge will apply, so yes and input no output. Not sure in your software, T22 sage (off the top of my head, if I'm recalling correctly. T24 the other way! Rambling now)

Of course it is - D'oh! It's a charge for a cross-border *service* within the EU, so subject to the place of supply rules.
