Intra-Community purchases

Question

Hello,

I have a few invoices from Dutch-speaking suppliers. Can the vAT be recovered? Does this need to be done via a separate vAT return? Many thanks for your answer.

I made a purchase from a Dutch company and they did not charge vAT on the invoice. When you upload them here in Dexxter, you are asked what percentage of vAT you would normally pay on them. In my case, that was 21%, which is added but also immediately subtracted, so it is a zero operation.

Dear, that is the correct way. When you purchase intra-Community services or goods, the vAT is transferred to the customer. This means that the customer declares and pays the vAT (for the supplier) and recovers it (as a customer). For services, the taxable amount is entered in boxes 81 and 86, and the vAT in boxes 55 and 59. For goods, the taxable amount is entered in boxes 82 and 88, and the vAT in boxes 55 and 59.

Should I enter invoices for income issued on 1 October but for services provided in September in the Q3 or Q4 vAT declaration?
