Sage - Self Accounting for Vat

littlecbear

Hi all

I just signed up to new accounting software - Sage Accounting Start.
Can anyone advise me how to self account for Vat for purchases I make from the UK not for resale.

They are supposed to have support but I can't reach them by phone or chat and am waiting 2 days now for a response by email.

Any help would be much appreciated

Cheers

Normally if you create your supplier as a UK registered supplier it takes care of it, when you post the invoices you will see Full Vat but at zero value

Thanks but that did not work unfortunately. I have the location as UK and so tried changed the rate on the transaction from "no vat" to 23%. The transaction now shows the vat and when I run a report the vat appears in column T2 so it doesn't seem to take into account that its UK.

Did you enter a valid UK vat number in the supplier record?

Update, just received a response from sage and this functionality does not exist in their basic package.
