I received an order from a company and invoiced with vAT (I was not working in subcontracting). Now the accountant of this company is asking for a correction: the vAT had to be reverse-charged.
1) Is this indeed required?
2) The invoice was entered in the previous financial year. How do I correct this (if the answer to the previous question is ‘yes’)?
In order to give you the correct answer, I need to know what type of activity it was (construction, car, etc.).
I work in the construction sector, and the company is a hoof shop.
We have been working in construction for years and only reverse charge vAT if we work under the status of co-contractor/OA. If we work for a company to ourselves, we always charge 21% vAT and we have never been asked any questions here. + The company recovers the vAT, so I would communicate this as well.
You really should try it out for yourself. Even if you don’t have a company number yet, you can already go ahead.
