Hello there, I would like to ask for some guidance on how to record purchases made through Etsy. I’ve bought several items from Etsy merchants for my company (sole trader), but none of the purchase receipts include my VAT registration number. Currently, this is how the transactions appear in my bookkeeping. These accounts were originally set up by my accountant: 2440 – Leverantörsskulder 4545 – Import av varor, 25 % moms (VAT code 50) 2615 – Utgående moms import av varor, 25 % (VAT code 60) 2645 – Beräknad ingående moms på förvärv från utlandet (VAT code 48) However, after I spoke with my accountant again, they advised that I cannot use this setup because Etsy is based in Ireland and does not handle VAT in the same way as in Sweden. They suggested that I use the following instead, without any VAT codes: Account VAT code Debit Credit 2440 – Leverantörsskulder 4056 – Inköp varor 25% EU (no VAT code) I’m quite confused and would really appreciate it if you could explain how I should correctly record this kind of purchase. Thank you very much for your help. Best regards,
