Hi,
I have received so much conflicting information from the HMRC that I'm not sure what to do about our ECSL I am hoping someone will be able to point me in the right direction.
Basically we do distance sales to the EU. We have crossed the threshold in several countries and are registered for VAT in those countries and charging their respective VAT rates and submitting VAT returns to the relevant authorities. A while back we received a letter saying that because we had completed box 8 of the VAT return, we needed to complete the ECSL. My understanding of it was only sales to VAT registered customers were included (our customers are not). I was however informed that because we were VAT registered in some countries, we needed to include our sales to those countries and use our VAT registration numbers for those countries to complete the ECSL.
I have two questions:
1. Box 8 of the VAT return on which basis we are required to complete the ECSL, does not mention sales to only VAT registered customers, it asks for all sales to EU countries. Are we correct in included all our sales to the EU in box 8
2. Should we be completing the ECSL?
Many thanks
