Very soon we will be writing an article that firms up these assumptions and tells you exactly what you need to do.
Customers and Suppliers
Any UK customers or suppliers you have in Sage will need to be treated as being outside the EU. This will mean setting up new tax codes and changing defaults over to these tax codes. The procedure will be very similar to the VAT rate change that happened in September.
