Hi all
Just one thing I can't understand regarding EU acquisitions VAT control account.

Also, the same picture is with VAT Return form. The EU acquisitions tax is shown in Box 2 and also in Box 4 which which does not affect the result in Box 5...

They just cancel each other out, you 'pay' the tax but also 'claim it back' so, as you say, the effect is Nil.
I've no idea why this is as my book didn't say, I presume it's a monitoring exercise for HMRC.0
