Expenses outside the EU

Aha!

Glad I can help, because I asked that question to an accountant myself a while back. Like you, I was a bit stuck with it.

The answer is: enter it in the category excl. 21% and fill in 100% VAT recovery (or as high as your professional use % is). It's normal that you occasionally don't have a correct invoice when it comes to outside the EU, because they sometimes have completely other rules there. So feel free to enter excl. 21% in the input field and then set the VAT deductibility to 100%. You might receive an invoice from a small Chinese company (that's what I had at the time, hence...) that you can barely recognise as an invoice. That's simply because the rules for invoicing are completely other there. So outside the EU, don't worry too much about whether it's a 'proper' invoice, just fill in 21% vAT and claim 100% vAT recovery.

Glad to help, I was stuck with the same question at the time :)

Nice, thanks EB for the explanation! I was struggling with the same problem.

Hello, sorry to ask a question back! But so, include it in the vAT declaration? 21%, and then 100% deductible? Because my supplier doesn't charge vAT?
