We have a lot of recurring payments that are made automatically through our bank account, which are Overseas reverse charge transactions. We always check that we have the appropriate documentation for these (invoices with VAT numbers).
However Sage will not allow us to post bank payments with a T57 tax code.
When I spoke to someone at Sage on Chat, I was told that these transactions should only be posted as purchase ledger transactions because you need an invoice as per HMRC instructions.
We do have an invoice, but I don't want to post all of our automatic bank payments as purchase ledger invoices and then purchase ledger payments because this will more than DOUBLE our workload! We currently import our bank transactions into Sage, so I don't want to create purchase invoices and then purchase payments for these transactions.
This is causing me a big problem and Sage don't seem to be interested in helping me to solve it - the operator suggested that I post in Sage City to ask for this to be added to the roadmap for development.
Is anyone else having this problem and have you found a practical way around it?
