Reverse Charges - International Transactions

There are not reverse charge categories for international transactions - reverse charge sales & reverse charge purchases - the documentation does not refer to this scenario of international reverse charge transactions.

eg Purchase of Services from a Business based in Australia, Japan, USA etc. Several UK Businesses have been advised by their VAT Specialists that Reverse Charges of 20% need to be applied to the Purchase Invoices when they are entered into Sage 200.

Current Documentation
