Sales of goods to other EU countries (Finland)

If you sell goods to other EU member states, you will have to consider the relevant legislation. Normally invoices like this do not contain VAT for company customers, since the buyer declares and pays the VAT according to the rates in their home country. At the point of sale, the buying company has to be registered as a VAT inclusive business. 

Make sure the buyer has a registered VAT number (VAT ID)

The VAT number for both the buyer and seller has to be included on the invoice. You can easily check the buyer's VAT number from the EU commission's online service.  

Create an invoice for selling goods to another EU country

1. Go to the Invoices tab and click on New invoice.

  1. When choosing a company Customer, the invoice type"Sales within EU" will automatically be chosen.

3 Choose the Currency and language from the Settings if needed.

Please note: If you choose another currency and add products/services on the invoice directly from your productlist, you will need to manually recalculate the price of the product/service according to the new currency.

4. Zervant will automatically remove the VAT from the invoice, but if necessary, you can add the VAT by clicking Visible columns and ticking the box in front of "VAT".

Please note: The legal mention "VAT 0% Intra-Community supply of goods" is no longer automatically added to the footnote of the invoice. You can add it manually in the footnote.
