Selling across a border changes the document, not the workflow
An export sale, an intra-EU sale to a VAT-registered business and a domestic sale are three different documents with three different tax treatments. The workflow stays the same; the document changes itself based on the customer’s country and VAT status.
The customer’s country decides the treatment
Getting this wrong is expensive in both directions: charging tax that should not have been charged annoys the customer, and not charging tax that should have been leaves you owing it.
The customer record carries the country and the VAT number, so the treatment is derived rather than remembered.
Reported as its own group
Reverse-charge and export sales appear as separate groups in the tax report, because that is how they have to be declared.
Frequently asked questions
How is an intra-EU B2B sale handled?
If the customer has a valid EU VAT number in another member state, the invoice is issued as reverse charge and reported in its own group.
Does it handle exports outside the EU?
Yes. Export sales are issued without VAT where applicable and reported separately.
