How should I enter VAT reverse charge transactions in Easy Books?

Hi,

Sorry for posting again, I thought I didn't explain myself properly last time.

I'm currently using Easy Books on the mac and I am attempting to enter a Google Adwords Invoice which is paid from Ireland, an EC country. In these scenarios you have to charge VAT yourself on the transaction: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/vat/managing/international/imports/importing...

From that link you can see HMRC states:

How do you deal with the reverse charge on services?
You calculate the amount of VAT - Output Tax - on the full value of the services supplied to you, and then fill in the relevant boxes on your VAT Return as follows:
- put the amount of VAT you calculated in Box 1, and if you're entitled to reclaim the VAT on your purchase of these supplies, also put the same figure in Box 4 (this in effect cancels out the figure in Box 1)

- put the full value of the supply in both Box 6 and Box 7

I believe this means I need create a purchase that has EC VAT at 20% in Easy Books. And then I also need to create a sale which has the same EC VAT. The problem with this approach in Easy Books is it then make my sales look larger then that actually are because this is just a reverse charge for the VAT return. Perhaps if a "reverse charge sales" and "reverse charge purchases" group was created, that only effects VAT and not corp tax, etc? Is that possible?

Alternatively we could just do it manually, but it's a bit annoying and would be great if Easy Books could do it.

Kind Regards
Stuart
