EC Sales Vat Number of Customer

EC Sales Vat Number of Customer, Customer or End User

Didn't find your answer?

From a UK VAT registered company.

Our VAT registered Customer based in Germany, who is invoiced and pays for the goods sent. Delivery is actually to the end user however, who are also based in Germany and also VAT registered.

For EC Sales reporting, is it the VAT registration of the customer invoiced that is reported, or the VAT registration of the end user?

"If there is an element of personal or professional sensitivity in your question, there is an option to post it anonymously. Please do not abuse this facility - your identity can be checked by the site moderators."

There appears to be no need for you to have made the conscious effort to choose the anonymous option (which is not the default option when creating a thread). Whilst the moderators wont ever do anything about it (especially not if you are new, because newer posters are much more important to the moderation team than established users) i would implore my fellow A-Webbers not to respond to questions unnecessarily posted anonymously and to copy this message and link instead. Consider it our method of non-violent protest.

Come on, most of us use a nom de plume anyway which makes 'anonymous' posting even more unnecessary.

Whilst I appreciate your response, I think you should appreciate it isn't in the eye of the responder to determine if a post requires anonymity, rather the poster themselves.

Your response reduces the usefulness of the site, your view that I should not remain anonymous has no added value to you or other users whatsoever, so long as the question isn't spam.

Please reconsider your actions as they harm the forum.

Whilst i appreciate you unveiling yourself, i think you miss the point.

You should appreciate that whilst it is for the poster to make the initial assessment of whether a post requires anonymity, it is blatantly obvious to the responder(s) in many cases - including, i believe, this one - when anonymity is not required.

Posting anonymously for no good reason reduces the usefulness of the site. Your view that random questions should be allowed anonymity without any good reason has no added value to you or other users whatsoever, even if the question isnt spam.

Please reconsider your actions as they harm the forum.

In fact, whilst the above is true, my beef isn't specifically with you, your question, or any individual subject matter. It is fair to say that there are loads of questions posted all the time anonymously without merit. I have asked previous posters why they have gone out of their way to do this (it's actually more clicks to post anonymously than not) but none of them have ever answered. Perhaps you could be the first?

Happy to give you an answer.

I prefer to remain anonymous, simple - should you have an issue with this stance, please don't comment on future posts, as it takes away from the actual question and instead prompts discussion on anonymity instead of the original question- hence as I said, your actions harm the forum, which is for discussion on accounting. Not whether or not anonymity is good or bad.

To be fair that's not an answer. It's like saying "because". I assume there is in fact no justification.

In any case you are 'anonymous'. I'm a pretty good researcher but suspect i would struggle to track 'truecon' down.

I would suggest that what hurts the forum is people looking at the rules (the original ones, not the ones John S made up recently, although this is included in both) and making a conscious effort to stick two fingers up to them because they 'prefer' to do something that annoys others (for various reasons). Anonymous postings can also help spammers disguise the fact that they are posting multiple questions in quick succession and protect those who would engage in behaviour such as 'dotting' if they don't get the answer they want (or get an answer they dont like).

Furthermore, when you posted your question, and clocked the drop down to hide username, there was a statement immediately below which said

Quote:

Please note that posting as an anonymous user is reserved for sensitive content that you need help with but don't want people to know who you are.

However, it will also mean that other users will not be able to get in touch with you or see your history on the site and therefor might not be as willing to provide you with a reply.

Any abuse of the ability to publish anonymously will not be tolerated and offending users will be banned from AccountingWEB.

I invite you to read paragraphs one and three in future (not three really - they wont ever do anything about it. They are too bust trying to stop people standing up to antisocial behaviour such as yours).

By responding, you're now pseudonymous rather than anonymous.

And by deliberately making the OP anonymous, you've (so far) not got any help with your question.

The OP can de-anonymise themselves by responding in the thread.

They can - but should they edit the thread and deselect anonymous posting (i don't know if this is even possible)? Or, how about they just don't do it in the first place?

If we continue to answer, then people will keep on doing it. It isnt about finding out 'who' someone is in the real world, as most of us have aliases. It is more about requiring newbies to respect the posters who give up their time to help rather than expecting those helpful posters to bend over backwards in case they upset a newbie.

Of course this is just my thoughts, and ive asked others to join in. Others may not care in which case they are of course free to answer.
