Postponed VAT Accounting
PVA (Postponed VAT Accounting) will come into effect on January 1, 2021, once the Brexit transition period finishes. This measure applies to all imported goods from countries in the EU and elsewhere. After this date, UK traders that have to pay VAT on imported goods can record this data on their UK VAT return, then reclaim and pay this tax on the same return. Occasionally, as part of this process, traders will need to forecast the import VAT figures - then adjust the figures on their tax return accordingly.
New Updates To Help Businesses Transition After Brexit
Pegasus Opera 3 has had its features updated to facilitate the smooth adjustment of import VAT figures on VAT returns in 2021. Better still, users can generate new codes for VAT linked to PVA exports and imports. The VAT reporting options in Opera 3 use advanced UI selection criteria. This enables businesses to produce detailed reports on VAT adjustments related to PVA alone. Consequently, UK traders will find it easy to reconcile real and estimated import VAT figures, over a specified VAT period.
EORI identification numbers
From 1st January 2021, businesses have to obtain an EORI (Economic Operators Registration Identification) number from HMRC to transport goods between the EU and the UK. The Company Profiles form on Pegasus Opera 3 now includes a field for EORI, allowing your business to record its own number. Therefore, you can include this information on different documents/reports created by the software, as and when you need to.
The EC VAT module on Pegasus Opera 3 is designed for businesses that buy goods from EU suppliers regularly. Once PVA is introduced, these businesses will carry on using their current UK VAT codes for such purchases. To help businesses see the amount of acquisition tax logged against transactions, the software records and calculates acquisition tax on VAT returns. The VAT Reconciliation report in the EC VAT module also includes the acquisition tax for individual transactions.
Power And Versatility For Modern Businesses
