Service from EU member state

Service from EU member state

Didn't find your answer?

I have been charged for a service (salesmens commision) by an Italian VAT registered business, for sales in Italy. 

On my VAT return is this outside of scope (to be ignored completely) as the place of supply is Italy, or do i perform a reverse charge similar to if I had acquired goods from a VAT registered EU business.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Without knowingh exact detail of the service I do not think you should have been charged IVA. Go back and provide them with your UK VAT number and then you should receive the charge without Italian VAT and you will undertake Reverse Charge based on the value of the invoice on your UK VAT return.

Thanks, i wasnt clear, i havent been charged VAT, but i want to know if i should record in box 7 as a purchase and reverse charge, or if i can just ignore it for the VAT return because it is a service that was supplied outside the UK?

Assuming it's not a funny...

...which salesman's commission won't be, it will be a reverse charge situation. Place of supply will be UK as the customer (you) is based here (I presume).

Notional VAT in boxes 1 and 4.

Net in box 7.
