Taxomate fills in the VAT codes below during Quick Setup when you confirm UK VAT registration. It takes them from the tax codes in your accounting software. You confirm them on the **Confirm VAT Rates** step. ℹ️ The example below shows VAT mappings you may wish to use if you are VAT registered in the United Kingdom and are using **VAT tracking** (**Settings > VAT tracking**, **Track VAT by jurisdiction**). ⚠️ \_The below does not represent any tax or legal advice, and you should speak to your accountant if you have any questions.\_ ⚠️ **Sales Invoices in QuickBooks do not work with the reverse charge codes. Please use journal entries instead.** ## Example A: VAT Codes When Only UK Registered

\_👉 Once you have completed the mappings, select **Rebuild** on each applicable settlement that is not sent yet, then send it to your accounting system. If a settlement is already sent, delete its entries first, then rebuild and send it again.\_ ## Example B: VAT Codes with a UK VAT registration and one or more EU VAT registrations 👉 This example is for when you have a UK registration, one or more EU VAT registrations, and are tracking and filing EU submissions outside of QuickBooks. For each EU marketplace, you have a VAT registration for, you should create an income/revenue account in QuickBooks/Xero. - \_QuickBooks\_: Create an Income > Sales of Product Income account for each EU country you have a VAT registration (e.g., Amazon Sales - Germany). - \_Xero\_: Create a Sales account for each EU country you have a VAT registration (e.g., Amazon Sales - Germany). 👉 The example below is a seller who is UK and Germany registered. If you have more than one EU VAT registration, you will replicate the Germany account/VAT codes for each EU registration.
