Afternoon all,
Can I run something past you - I have been asked to complete an EC sales list, which is fine, but all of my customers in the EU are non-business, so they dont have a VAT number. The EC sales list requires a VAT number....what do I do? Do I just enter the country code and the total sales to that country and leave the VAT number blank? Help! Please! thank you

I assume that you are hoping that your accountant is a member of this forum and can answer your question - but how are they going to know who you are?
Out of interest, though, who has asked you to complete the ESL?
What VAT have you charged to these non-business customers?
What has your own research told you so far?
You only need to fill in ECSL for customers with VAT number

Non-business customers = consumers. How this is treated depends on what you are selling and how (goods, services, digital).
