VAT invoice question

Formosa · 2024-03-12 17:07:45

If I make a supply that is going to change from VAT exempt to chargeable and I want to absorb some of the VAT myself (for competitive reasons) Using simple numbers (say VAT is 20%) Sale is net €10,000 VAT €2,000 TOTAL €12,000 I will only charge my customer half the VAT and absorb half myself. Taxman still gets €2,000…

Using simple numbers (say VAT is 20%)

Sale is net €10,000
VAT €2,000
TOTAL €12,000

I will only charge my customer half the VAT and absorb half myself.

Taxman still gets €2,000

Customer pays me €11,000

How do I do the invoice? Before VAT a €5,000 discount would reduce customer’s VAT to €1,000 but then I’d only get €6,000 from them (10k less 5k discount plus 20% VAT)
Can I show the discount after VAT

EG Sale 10,000
VAT 2,000
Total 12,000
Less discount 1,000
Payable 11,000

Gross sale is 11000
VAT 1833
Net for you 9167
Reduction in overall price from 12k to 11k reduces the amount due to Revenue.
