Document not received on Peppol, no VAT recovery

JM

Question

In January, I sponsored the local carnival association. They gave me a paper invoice stating “as support, sponsorship and advertising for the carnival association”.

When I try to enter this invoice with 21% vAT (as far as I acknowledge, advertising is a consideration and therefore subject to 21%), I get the notification “This document was not received on Peppol, so you cannot recover vAT”.

  1. Is this sponsorship subject to 21% VAT? The invoice only states the deposit amount.

  2. How do I enter this in my accounts?

Thanks in advance!

Dear Sir/Madam, in principle, it depends on the form of the carnival association, whether it is a non-profit organisation or a company. However, it does not matter much at this point. No separate vAT was mentioned, so it is not deductible in any case.
Small note: some suppliers are still experiencing problems getting their systems okay for Peppol, so there is a transition period for invoices until the end of March.

Does Dexxter also provide for a transition period? I mean the next question: can you recover the vAT on invoices that you upload? I have an invoice from the garage here, a paper version.
