The VAT-exempt tick in Autoboeker does not switch VAT off. It only suppresses the error when you book without a VAT code. For a non-VAT administration you switch all VAT codes off, tell the AI assistant to book without VAT, and reprocess waiting documents. Exempt supplies and the KOR are different from this tick.
Key takeaways
- VAT-exempt suppresses an error, it does not switch VAT off.
- Not VAT-registered: all VAT codes off plus an AI instruction.
- Then reprocess in bulk; old proposals keep the old codes.
- Exempt supplies and the KOR use the right VAT codes, not this tick.
- VAT analysis stays Exact Online only, also with an exemption.
What does the VAT-exempt tick do?
The VAT-exempt tick does not switch VAT off. It only suppresses the error when you book without a VAT code. If the tick is on and you still pick a VAT code, that code is used. If you turn the tick on hoping Autoboeker stops proposing VAT, the AI keeps choosing codes until you switch the codes off and give an instruction.
How do I set up a non-VAT administration?
An administration that is not a VAT entrepreneur does not need VAT codes. Switch all VAT codes of that administration off in Autoboeker, tell the AI assistant to book without VAT, and reprocess documents that are already waiting in bulk. New documents then follow the instruction.
- 1Open the administration and go to VAT codes.
- 2Switch all VAT codes off.
- 3Tell the AI assistant that this administration is not VAT-registered and must book without a VAT code.
- 4Select waiting documents and choose Process, or reprocess them.
How is this different from exempt supplies and the KOR?
Exempt supplies, for example healthcare or education, still belong to a VAT entrepreneur with an exemption on that turnover. You use the right exemption code, not the VAT-exempt tick. The small-business scheme (KOR) is a choice at the Tax Administration; you record it in the VAT codes and in an AI instruction, not with this tick alone.
Non-deductible VAT, such as on food or hospitality, is different again: VAT is on the invoice but is not input VAT. See the guide on non-deductible VAT.
Which reports stay available?
Profit and loss, revenue and costs and month-on-month work for every ledger, also without VAT. VAT analysis, VAT reports and the VAT overview in the client portal are Exact Online only. For Twinfield, SnelStart and e-Boekhouden you file VAT in the ledger itself.
