In order to be compliant with VAT invoicing rules of certain European country, it may be required to offer VAT reverse charge to B2B customers. Reverse Charge is the mechanism by which the responsibility for the reporting of a VAT transaction moves from the seller to the buyer of a good or service. This means in particular that the VAT should not appear on invoices of certain B2B customers.

In that context, SecuTix now provides two new ways of offering reverse charge to those customers

Sales module (box-office)

In the sales module, an action allows to remove the VAT on some selected items or on the entire order. This can be applied from the "Sales - reservation" cart on pre-sales or reservation orders but also on option orders from the "Option" cart. The VAT can also be re-applied by triggering the action to re-compute the original VAT.

Note that an operator having access to this action is responsible for only removing the VAT on items and for contacts meeting the criteria.

Online sales (ticketshop)

Online sales channels can be configured to automatically trigger the reverse charge mechanism, if the following conditions are met:

  • one or more "reverse charge" countries are configured on the sales channel
  • the current user is a relay/structure which has a VAT code set
  • the billing address belongs to one of the "reverse charge" configured in the sales channel

Note that the reverse charge will only apply to items of the cart that are taking place in the same country than the billing address.
