More Information
If you are Selling Good or Services to EU Countries then your Customers need to be set up in a specific way. The Country of the customer should be entered on the Invoicing Tab of the "Customer properties", the EC member flag should however be set to "NO" unless the customer has a V.A.T. number.
The reason for this is that you do not have to declare the goods sold to customers without a V.A.T number unless you exceed the distance selling threshold of that Country. For the H.M.R.C. explanation of Box 8 and what is to be entered see Here For Distance selling Thresholds for EU Countries see Here
