Requesting VAT Invoices

Note: You may need to manually choose to include VAT Invoice Only (VAT Sub) and Manual (Manual Sub) Sub-Tiers in a period if you turned off the Include all VAT invoice only and manual sub-tiers in period if their on-system parent is included in a period project setting.

To automatically include these Sub-Tier organisations in a period each time you invite their parent organisation, you can turn on the Include all VAT invoice only and manual sub-tiers in period if their on-system parent is included in a period project setting.

See Period Settings for information on this and several other draw-related project settings.

To request a VAT Invoice from the Manage VAT Invoices or Manage VAT Invoices by Period page:

  1. Either:
    • Navigate to the Manage VAT Invoices Page
    • Navigate to the Manage VAT Invoices by Period Page
  2. From the Request VAT Invoice column, select an organisation.

    Either:

    • Use tick boxes in each row to select a VAT invoice from the organisation listed in the row.
    • Use the Select All tick box under the Request VAT Invoice column heading to request a VAT Invoice from all applicable Sub-Tiers.

      Note: You can request VAT Invoices for both VAT Subs and Subcontractors who may not have submitted this documentation previously because they were paid by manual cheque or had a negative payment application.

  3. Select the Save Changes button.
    • A Success! Your data was saved message appears at the top of the page.
    • The word Requested displays in the View VAT Invoice column.
    • The Prime Subcontractor receives an email when a Sub-Tier organisation signs a VAT Invoice.
    • A Manage VAT Invoices by Period link displays on the Subcontractor's Tasks and Project Home pages.
    • The Prime Subcontractor can approve, reject, comment on, or forward the VAT invoice.
