Create an EC Sales List
This article explains how to create an EC Sales List (ESL).
An EC Sales List is a report that has to be sent to HMRC by VAT-registered businesses who sell goods and services to other businesses outside the UK.
Please note:
- This functionality won't appear in your account until you enable non-standard UK VAT rates.
- It's important to make sure that all invoices relating to the sale of goods and services in the EU are tagged correctly.
1. Enable non-standard UK VAT rates
Select 'Settings' from the drop-down menu in the top-right corner and then select 'VAT Registration'.
Next, select 'Yes' to 'Do you need to use VAT rates other than standard UK ones?'.
Select 'Save changes' at the bottom of the screen to complete the process.
2. Create an EC Sales List report
Navigate to the ‘Accounting’ tab at the top of the screen and select ‘Reports’ from the drop-down menu.
Select 'EC Sales List' from the 'Breakdown' section.
Select your desired date range and select 'Export CSV' to download your EC Sales List.
