Hello,

I have an order from the UK and I need to send the invoice. However, when I generate
the invoice, there is no mention of the VAT. The Grand Total is just mysteriously
higher than the items + shipping.

What macro tags should I be using for VAT to show on my invoice? I tried adding:
VATAMOUNT and it came up as $0.00.

I believe I also need to attach proof of VAT to the outside of the package. The
Help section reads:

BrickLink will provide the seller with a copy of the invoice that it has issued
to the buyer identifying the VAT charged.


Where will this form be provided to me?

Thanks all for your help!
Jen

Hello,

When you open the order there should be a link there that you can click to download
the
VAT invoice for the outside of the package.

And we receive them all in our email, after the order has been placed/paid.

Best regards

Does the link appear only after invoicing? Because there is nothing on the Order
Detail page at this time.

Well, actually, maybe it is after payment not after invoicing.

Thanks for giving me the head's up about that!

Okay, well I guess I will go ahead and send the invoice with the mystery total
and hope that the VAT form shows and up and is correct somehow...

Update if anyone is following along...

I sent the invoice and checked my copy. There is no indication anywhere of the
amount of VAT that is estimated or charged. (This still seems like a major
problem to me, but what can you do? I would still appreciate it if someone from
BL can explain to sellers how to send invoices that are correct.)

The buyer paid right away (yeah!) and I received an email titled 'Your LEGO@
BrickLink VAT Invoice' There is also a large banner and link on the Order
Detail page.

So, I guess half of the process seems to be working very well.

Seems you need to reset your invoice template since the last update.

There are 3 new macro tags:

{ORDERVAT-EQ:Y}{/ORDERVAT-EQ:Y}
{VATLABEL}
{ORDERVAT}

Ah, this is the info I was looking for! Where is the reference location for this
info? I don't see anything matching that on either of the macro help pages.

Thanks!
