Hi All,

Need a little help on what I need to do as i've got myself in a little muddle.

I registered for VAT with a start date of October 1st. Certificate arrived at the weekend and I Immediately updated eBay and Amazon with my VAT number. Since then small issues have arose of which i need to understand how to managed them through.

1. 5 sales since the 1st October on eBay have no VAT showing on the sale. This is because although applying the VAT number I assumed that VAT would then be shown. This was not the case and I had to amend all my listing with the VAT amount.

I now need to generate a VAT invoice an account for these when paying VAT... how should I go about this?

2. Amazon were doing my invoicing pre-VAT. Since I gave them my VAT number they shopped invoicing asking me to provide an invoice and then started up again today leaving my with about 20 sales with no invoice. They advised they cannot go back and generate an invoice so I need to do this. Should I generate an invoice in QB for these? If so im not sure then how i'd link them back as I used Linkmybooks with QB to deal with all my Amazon sales.

2.a On top of this all sales between 1st October and 21st October show as if im not VAT registered. Amazon said that they wont apply my VAT until today which wasn't helpful. I have a transaction report covering this period, how would I put this VAT collected into QB? Again this could be problematic having Linkmybooks in place.

Any help would be appreciated as I'm getting a little stressed out with things that look simple on paper going down the pan pretty quickly at the moment.
 
Ok so thoughts on point 2. (not 2.a) I have generated VAT invoices using https://invoice-generator.com/ which i'll upload to Amazon. Then when I use their VAT invoice download feature it will be batched up with the others.

This generates the invoice for the buyer, but I will have to manually account for the VAT collected along with the other sale between the 1st and the 21st.

Think i've got further with it now :)

So Linkmybooks will automatically calculate how much VAT I owe on sales for me from the 1st October when I pull them in to QB for both eBay and Amzon.

Amazon want me to wait for my VAT invoice then request a change to allow for fees between the 1st October and the 31st to all be VAT covered

The missing VAT invoices I can upload my self generated ones I will generate them for eBay too which then means I can pass them on to the customers on request.
