The Buyer will always pay VAT on commission (if commission applicable). The Buyer will pay VAT on expenses if VAT was captured for that expense. The Seller will only be paid out VAT on his standard-rate lots if he is a VAT-Vendor. The Seller will not be paid VAT on zero-rated lots. The Seller will always pay VAT on commission (if commission applicable). The Seller will pay VAT on expenses if VAT was captured for that expense.

  • Ensure that your Default VAT rate in Tools > settings is “14%”
  • Ensure that you are running the newest version of FlexiAuction
  • Ensure that you set the VAT amount for expenses correctly when you are invoicing
  • If Expense Rules is used, ensure that you tick/untick VAT
  • Ensure that you set the VAT rate to "0" for zero-rated items, e.g. "LIZ"
  • Ensure that you set the VAT rate to "14" for standard-rated items, e.g. "LIV"
  • If you change the payer/payee on lots, be aware that the VAT status of the new payee/payer might differ from that of the lot's buyer/seller. Ensure that the correct VAT amount is paid out or collected.
  • When you invoiced a customer with the wrong invoice, always reverse the invoice before you amend the VAT nr. Customer VAT Nrs
  • FlexiAuction will treat a customer as VAT registered if there is anything filled into the VAT field for that customer.
  • If a customer is not registered for VAT, leave the VAT field blank
  • If the customer is not an South-African person/company, prefix the VAT Nr with "*INT*" to ensure No VAT will be added/deducted for this customer, e.g. "*INT*00389289" When you make a change on the vendueroll and the lots is already assigned to the customer I a lot was assigned to a buyer with [+LINE] or [+ALL], it will use the buyer vat option the lot was captured with, if this change before the customer is invoiced, you first need to remove all assigned lots with [X LINE] or [X ALL] then re-assign the lot with [+LINE] or [+ALL] to ensure that the change will effect Non VAT Registered Auctioneers If you, as auctioneer is not VAT registered, you must always use the "SELLER STATUS" method. To ensure that the system will NOT deduct VAT on commission and expenses, please ensure that you have a file named NOVATNR.TXT in your Profile folder. e.g. "c:\fxa\@abc\novatnr.txt"
