1. Click on Economy > Invoices > Invoices.

2. Click on File > Manual invoicein the Invoices window.

3. Fill in the details that are to apply to the invoice. When you get down to the item rows, click on the drop-down list in the Item column.

   1. If there is a item called VAT, select it.

   2. If there is no VAT item, it needs to be created.

   2. Enter “VAT” as the name.

   3. Select “0% VAT” in the VAT rate drop-down list.

   4. Go to the Account coding tab and click on to the right of Transport.

   5. Select the VAT account (usually 2641) for the row that has 0% VAT.
