How to: Set Up Reverse Charges on VAT

In Microsoft Dynamics NAV, you can use reverse charge VAT accounting for a specific range of items to prevent Missing Trader Inter-community Fund Fraud (MTIC), also known as carousel fraud. This feature is supplemented by the Reverse Charge Sales List report. The VAT accounting changes will affect companies trading in electronic goods and integrated circuit devices, such as mobile telephones, microprocessors, and central processing units. These goods will apply to reverse charges.
