Invoicing orders with construction VAT

If you have customers in the construction sector that you are invoicing for construction orders, you state that the customer is a construction company. The same customer can be invoiced both with (reverse charge principle) and without construction VAT for different orders. This depends on whether the service specified on the order being invoiced has been defined as a construction service (see Applying construction VAT to services and price items). How to indicate that a customer is a construction company:

  1. Click on Register > Customers.
  2. Search for and select the customer that is buying construction services in the search field on the left.
  3. Go to the Invoice information tab and select the Construction company checkbox.
  4. Click on to save all changes.

If the conditions for construction VAT are met, Opter invoices construction orders at a VAT rate of 0%. For more information, see How Opter chooses the VAT rate for customer invoices.

Invoicing orders with construction VAT separately

It is possible to separate orders with construction VAT from normal orders and invoice them separately. This can be done as follows:

  1. Click on SettingsOffices.
  2. Go to the Pricing tab and select the Create invoices with construction VAT separately checkbox.
