Reply To: Filing UK VAT returns that are not in GBP

#55833

You can only file GBP VAT returns. However there are a number of options available for a company who has foreign currency VAT transactions. These are:

– Use HMRC foreign currency rates. HMRC publishes foreign exchange rates for over 120 countries and currency zones. The data is based on daily figures published in the Financial Times. There is sometimes a wide discrepancy with market rates.
– You can use exchange rates published each day from a recognised source – e.g. aOANDA
– You can write to HMRC to try and get permission to use the method that your accounting package uses as default.

Hope this answers your questions.
