Hi Rebecca,

Thanks for using Community Hub.

I'm so sorry for the late reply. I had sent the query to another department but was absent so I missed their reply. 

You can't add EU VAT numbers I'm afraid. 

In this instance, you would set up the supplier as US etc and leave the VAT number box empty. Sage Accounting automatically sets the appropriate VAT rate based on what options you select when you create the invoice, and this will also show correctly on the VAT Return. 

Supply of services, business to business, from a supplier outside of the UK would be classed as reverse charge VAT. The system will account for this and will include it as such on the VAT Return. If you need more support, I would recommend speaking to HMRC or an accountant to confirm. 

I've also found this on the HMRC community forum that may explain in more detail for you >
