6.3.5 Reverse Charge Mechanism

ADvendio supports the reverse charge mechanism for your invoices which means that the account (the debtor) that pays the invoice needs to also take care of the value-added tax. This gets initiated by checking a checkbox on your media campaign: Reverse-Charge Mechanism. If this checkbox is set to true the VAT Type on all campaign items will be ignored, set to zero, and on your Invoice PDF, the Custom Label VATInformation_BA is displayed in the Conditions of Payment section.

Administration only:

You can modify the Note by changing the custom label VATInformation_BA under Category Billing & Accounting to change the text which appears on your media campaign and invoices. 

Here is what happens:

  • the custom label gets displayed on the Invoice PDF

  • the VAT % Values for all related Campaign Items are getting ignored

  • the VAT amount is set to zero on the Invoice PDF

Example

  • Reverse-Charge Mechanism is checked in manually → it also automatically checks in Create Items as VAT Exempt true → amount is set to 0, where rates are correct all good

  • Create Items as VAT Exempt true → Reverse-Charge Mechanism is unchecked = which from ADvendio’s perspective is fine unless on invoice its shows 0% and = EUR. So basically its fine when Reverse-Charge Mechanism is false and Create Items as VAT Exempt is true
