Recording domestic reverse charge for metal products (VAT Act § 41¹)

In the case of the sale of metal products listed in Section 41¹ 2 clause 5 of the Value-Added Tax Act , the VAT type 24% Metal sales, exception must be used on the sales invoice. The income account for this VAT type must be account 4700 Metal sales under KMS p41 special arrangements.
A reference to reverse charge is also added to the additional information of the sales invoice from the VAT type settings.
If you have created a new income account with a different number, you must add it to the VAT type settings and also update the VAT statement settings.

After saving the invoice, you will see the calculated VAT on the sales invoice PDF, but it does not affect the receivable from the customer. 

For recording the purchase of metal products, the expense account 5405 Metal purchase under KMS p41 special arrangements (subject to reverse charge) has been created. The VAT type 24% Metal purchases, exception must also be used on the purchase invoice.

Since VAT statement data is based on the account + VAT type, it is also possible to use other expense accounts for metal purchases. In that case, you must manually add the required expense account in the statement settings.
