Reverse charge (B2B)

What does reverse charge mean?

The reverse charge procedure is known as the reverse charge mechanism. This is a special regulation in VAT law. It is not the entrepreneur who provides the service who pays the VAT, but the recipient of the service who must pay the VAT.

Activate reverse charge in edoobox

Reverse charge is not activated automatically, but must be activated individually by you in the edoobox for the desired countries. Outside the EU, the law of the respective country must be checked to see whether a reverse charge exists. To activate reverse charge, you must log in to the V2 of edoobox. If you have not yet activated V2, please send an e-mail to support@edoobox.com with a brief request to activate V2 in your account.

Reverse charge is activated in the V2 in the settings in the "VAT" tab A. Click on the desired VAT rate B for which reverse charge is to be activated and check the box "Reverse charge (B2B)" C.

As soon as reverse charge has been activated in the desired VAT rate, the "Billing address" widget D must also be added to the participant form in the Design Manager. The widget must be added as the VAT number is requested in it.

As soon as the invoice widget is in the participant form, double-click on the data field to open the settings. Here you now have the option "Force billing address" E. If this option is selected, the data field becomes a mandatory field and a booking cannot be completed without the required fields being filled in. For the individual data fields in the billing address, you can then decide individually whether they should be displayed and, if so, whether they should also be a mandatory field or not.

Would you like the VAT number information entered by the person making the booking to be checked for validity (EU VAT no. only) in the "VAT number" data field F? Check the box "Check details (DB Vies) "G.

If the reverse charge option is to be added to a booking retrospectively, the billing address must be activated, a check mark must be placed next to "Reverse charge (B2b)" I and a valid VAT number J must be added. If reverse charge is to be deactivated, only the check mark can be removed again.

In the invoice, you can use IF-Conditions and the placeholder InvoiceIsReverseCharge text can also be output if reverse charge occurs in the invoice. As the placeholder with true or false must be added, it is therefore only suitable in connection with the IF query.

Example with ELSE:
{IF?InvoiceIsReverseCharge = true}Invoice with reverse charge{ELSE}Invoice without reverse charge{ENDIF}

Example without ELSE:
{IF?InvoiceIsReverseCharge = true}Invoice with reverse charge{ENDIF}
