For businesses selling goods to the UK, excluding those using the Northern Ireland protocol, you should now treat this as a sale to a non-EC country.
For this you would normally use the zero rated export of goods to customers outside EC tax code, T14.
When trading goods with Northern Ireland, to avoid a hard border, the Northern Ireland protocol has been introduced.
Under the Northern Ireland protocol, buying goods located in Northern Ireland should continue to be treated like intra-community acquisitions after 1 January 2021.
Under the Northern Ireland protocol, selling goods to Northern Ireland should continue to be treated like intra-community dispatches and distance sales after 1 January 2021.
There is no change in the way you buy and sell services to and from the UK. However, you must change your vat codes to outside the EU
e.g. If you are selling a service currently they should be using T22 Sales of services to VAT registered customers in EC which should now be T14 Zero rated export of goods to customers outside EC. This would be the same for T23 Zero rated export of goods to customers outside EC.
The following two reports show how long it’s taken for an invoice to be paid and calculates the average number of days taken to pay per customer or supplier.
