Sage Tax Codes for EU Purchases/Expenses

Question

Advise needed. 
 So what would you recommend. I have monthly expenses for employees. They travel to Ireland (Dublin), USA and EU. They generally accumulate subsistence as they are away for work. 
 I understand they cannot obviously claim for VAT however what tax code should I ideally be using when entering the invoices?

Thanks

Hi Sonya, Thanks for using Sage City. With a specific query about tax liability like this, I'd be inclined to check with HMRC's VAT Enquiries service, they should be able to advise how the transactions affect the VAT Return, if at all. Once you have this information then Sage Technical Support can advise on the right tax code to achieve what's needed in Sage Accounts. VAT Enquiries contact details are here > Regards,

Hi Hollie, 
 Thanks for using Sage City. The EU tax codes you mentioned are restricted to Supplier transactions to ensure they affect the VAT Return correctly. For the scenario you mentioned, I'd advise contacting your accountant or HMRC to clarify which boxes of the VAT Return should be affected. Once you know this, Sage Tech Support will be able to advise you how to post them correctly in the software. Regards Andy Sage UKI
