United Kingdom VAT100 Overview

Note:

This topic is for NetSuite accounts that use the Tax Reports (International) page to generate the United Kingdom VAT100 Return. If you are using the Country Tax Report page, see Periodic VAT Return – VAT100.

United Kingdom VAT-registered companies can use NetSuite to generate the VAT100 report and submit it online to His Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC). To do this, you need the International Tax Reports SuiteApp. For more information on the International Tax Reports SuiteApp, see International Tax Reports.

The United Kingdom VAT100 Tax Report can be accessed from Reports > VAT/GST > Tax Reports (International). The values on the VAT100 report are automatically generated from your transactions, and each box has drill down functionality so you can view transaction details.

Important:

To correctly generate the VAT100 report, use the tax code properties provided by the International Tax Reports SuiteApp. See United Kingdom Tax Codes.
For VAT filing purposes, invoices must show amounts in Sterling. If you need to convert foreign currency amounts to Sterling, you must use one of these methods:
- United Kingdom market selling rate for Sterling at the time of the supply
- Period rate of exchange published by HMRC for customs purposes
- Another method of determining the exchange rate. If you are using another method of determining the rate, which you use for commercial purposes, and you want to use this same rate for VAT purposes, you need to apply in writing to the tax office to get approval. You can visit the HMRC online portal for more information about filling in your VAT form.
