If you are registered for VAT and supply goods to customers in the EC, you need to submit an EC Sales List to the HMRC or the Irish Revenue.
The EC Sales List includes the following information:
The EC Sales list must be submitted online to the HMRC or Irish Revenue, via the HM Revenue and Customs website (www.hmrc.gov.uk), or Irish Revenue website (www.revenue.ie). The EC Sales list is produced from Sage 200 as an XMLExtensible Markup Language (XML) file format. Sage 200 can import and export data in the XML file format. file, which can be uploaded to the relevant website.
Submission of the EC Sales List is not required on strict calendar quarters so may not correspond to your VAT accounting periods.
Note: You must produce your EC Sales List report before you produce your final VAT Return, as producing a VAT Return will clear out the figures the EC Sales List requires.
Open: Sales Ledger > Reports > Account Analysis > EC Sales List (XML).
Enter the criteria for the report.
For example, for an EC Sales List for October to December enter the first month as 10 and the number of calendar months as 3.
This opens the Save window.
When the file has generated successfully, you can load the file to the HMRC website or ROS (Revenue Online Services) website. Follow the online instructions on the relevant website to upload your XML file.
