View - Accounting - Intrastat
Intrastat is the name given to the system for collecting information and producing statistics on the trade in goods between the Member States of the European Union (EU). The requirements of Intrastat are similar in all Member States.
All VAT registered businesses must complete Boxes 8 and 9 on their VAT returns showing the total value of any goods supplied to other EU countries (known as dispatches) and the total value of any Goods acquired from other EU countries (known as arrivals). Only movements which represent physical trade in goods are covered by Intrastat. There are some exceptions.
If you cannot find the answer to your problem here, you should call the National Advice Service (NAS) on 0845 010 9000 in the first instance.
