There may be occasions when the company you deal with is a UK-based company but the delivery address is in a country outside of the UK. Sage Accounts has the flexibility to manage this situation from a tax perspective.
When you enter items onto an invoice or sales order, if your delivery address is to a country outside of the UK, you might also need to amend the tax code.
