good bought from abroad, VAT invoiced by courier

Hello, when ordering supplies from abroad, these are paid without VAT and the VAT is then seperately invoices by the courier including any import duties. These amounts come through the automatic bank feed as two seperate entries in any accounting software. How should these be entered? One invoice would be almost entirely VAT. Would I need to delete both automatic entries, then manually create a new entery and "stitching" both invoices together? Apologies for my non-techical vocabulary. Hope this makes sense? Thank you very much in advance for your help, Ute

 

Hi. I would recommend doing whatever works best for your software. As it is an import with VAT being charged and passed over to your courier then there is an entitlement to recover it and so would appear in box 4 and box 7 of the VAT return . Thank you.

thank you for your clarification .
