Hi Pat,
We’re not accountants so I’m not sure how this is handled. What did you accountant say?

    asked ye first but I can contact him- I've no problem updating invoice with no vat charged but I still need to pay vat on that invoice so it reflects balance due for period of vat

    It sounds like withholding tax, but let me know what the accountant says.
    If it's outside of the normal Bullet workflows he'll need to advise you on the journal entries to use and how to use them. I'm afraid we can't give any of that advice.
    But, let me know how you get on I'll be here to help.
    Thanks Pete

    I'll come back to you- its not with holding tax - its standard practice if you are the principal contractor in construction industry. Vat isn't charged by the subcontractor but they mark invoice stating that vat on invoice will be paid directly to revenue by Principal contractor. they complicate things at times
