Intrastat Report in Sage 50 Accounts is incorrect.
By Intrastat filling requirements, there should be included ALL EU dispatches. ALL means and to VAT registered customer and to private or non-Vat registered businesses. Thats mean that non VAT registered businesses must be charged VAT 20% and VAT code T1 used.
There the issue arises, as Sage doesn't allow any other Vat codes for Intrastat, only T4, what means that dispatches with VAT code T1 are missing from the report.
When I spoke with technical team they said that to allow T1 code would cause issues as would be included all businesses. I agree with that if to leave just like that, but there need to add another criteria and issue would be solved.
By Intrastat filling requirements those non-Vat registered businesses must be posted under Vat number QV999999999999. So when I am entering customer details in Sage I can enter this Vat number as EORI number and it could be second criteria for those businesses to be included in the Intrastat report and declining all others with T1 Vat code.
Without this changes Intrastat report is useless.
We chose that expensive Sage software version only because of Intrastat available and now I was offered to fill it manually as it doesn't meet Intrastat Report requirements. So FOR WHAT we are paying almost £200 monthly????
There is an extract from Intrastat filling requirements below. This is not my imagination only[View:/cfs-file/__key/telligent-ideas/d28988b7-5481-433f-9d4f-2050b3df4222/Intrastat-Offline_5F00_-CSV-submissions-_2D00_-UK-Trade-Info.pdf:320:240]
