UK Amend a VAT reverse charge invoice

[lksndrpnchnk]

Hi,



We are a business running in the UK and purchase B2B services from abroad. We recieved an invoice from a supplier who did not know about reverse charge procedure. The invoice which was subject to a reverse charge does not state any phrases like 'Reverse charge: Customer to pay the VAT to HMRC' nor it states any VAT tax rate on it.

What are the legal steps thath can we make here? Should we ask the supplier to change the invoice stating clearly that it is a 'reverse charge' and 20% VAT rate? Can we amend the invoice by ourselves? Should we make a second version of an invoice to HRMC?



We will be thankful to any helpful information from anyone! Thank you!

I would ask for a revised invoice from the supplier showing the VAT on its own line on the invoice. I would advise against amending any invoices yourself.
