You would have to add two lines with a clearing account that cancel each other out, one with a tax table and the other without to adjust your liability. Also depending on your tax forms I might add different input and output vat accounts for all different reverse charge cases. I’m wondering why you didn’t come across this earlier. Don’t you use other services in the sense of VAT provided by companies from third countries or the EU, like some online services? Has Amazon always shipped from a Belgian warehouse or did they ship from Germany and in the end have provided you with technically wrong invoice since they didn’t know better? All these are cases where this whole reverse-charge thing also should apply if the Belgian laws are similiar to German ones, which they should be thanks to the EU VAT directive. > > My accountant and I created the example in my first message together but, > as he isn't familiar with Gnucash (he found it very difficult to use), I'm > afraid it might contain errors.> > Only minor ones in case of the German places names in your Vendors: Here have some umlauts and sharp-s: äöüßÄÖÜẞ :-). > I'm not an accountant by any means but I at least want to be able to > understand what I'm doing with regards to Gnucash. > > If it's not too much trouble, would you perhaps be so kind as to send me > one finished example of the former?

Why can’t you add a link to original invoice to a transaction created by the business module. You might be asked to show your receipt for a particular transaction and how nice would it be if was just one click away without going through folder structures?a
