Filing Vat Return on FRS - Box 8

[sosnazzy]

We're using the Vat Flat Rate Scheme (6.5%).

On the vat return form we've come to Box 8 (Total value of goods you supplied to other EU countries).

We sell stuff on eBay and in the vat period we've sold a few things to countries like Rep. Ireland, France etc. But also non-EU countries like Australia.

These people we sell to are just consumers, not businesses.

So for Box 8, do we need to add up the total sales for all the EU countries? What about non-EU countries?

Also, there is mention of filling in an EC Sales List... doesn't this require customers' vat numbers? Our customers don't have any.

Thanks in advance.

How to complete your VAT Return Box by Box

I've already read that guide, I just wanted clarification from the experts on this forum.

So if I sell a £10 item to someone in France, I have to put £10 into Box 8 on the Vat Return?

Is it only EU countries or every other country in the world?

From the page linked by David Griffiths

Box 8: the total value of goods you supplied to other EU countries

Put in the total value of goods you supplied to another EU country and services directly related to those goods (such as delivery charges) you supplied to another EU country.

It is only sales to EU countries that go in there.

I am in the same position as far as I am aware you do not record them in box 8 unless they have a vat number. Just ensure you charge them uk vat rate, and the sales for it are included in your flat rate turnover.

You only fill out the EC sales list if your EU customer has a vat number and you have not charged them vat.
