EC Sales List Legislation from January 2010
(Sage 200/MMS/Line 100 users)

If you are not already aware, there are imminent EC Legislation changes due in January 2010. If you are not a Sage 200, Sage Line 100 or MMS user this does not affect you.

Rule Changes

• Monthly submissions for goods for companies with significant EU trade
• The need to include taxable services to reflect the adoption of new rules governing "Place of Supply"
• Changes to the XML file formats used for electronic submission

Sage have issued a patch which will support the new legislation by making it possible to:

• Submit the UK EC Sales List as XML output. This format complies with the Bulk Upload for EC Sales List submission format in accordance with HMRC (UK) guidelines. 
• Submit the Irish VIES declaration as XML output. This format complies with the Irish Revenue's Revenue On-Line Service (ROS) format.
  
  NB: The EC Sales List updates provided by Sage do not support a mixed submission i.e. monthly submission for goods and quarterly for services or vice versa. You must submit the EC Sales List/VIES declaration monthly for goods and services or quarterly (depending on the extent of your EC trade) for goods and service.
• Include/exclude taxable 'Non Related Services' in the EC Sales List/VIES Declaration.

Which Versions support the new EC sales list legislation?

If you are affected by the new legislation you must use the following versions in order to support the new EC sales list legislation:

• Sage 200 2010 (when released)
• Sage 200 2009 SP1 and SP2 (SP3 will contain the update)
• Sage 200 5.1 SP2 
• MMS v3.5 SP8
• MMS v2.3 SP1
• Line 100 v5.4, v6.22, v7.2 and v7.6

As a customer you should have received a communication with a download of this patch. If this is not the case and you would like access to this file, or if you would like to discuss this further with our support team please call them on: 0161 975 1688 (UK) or 021 429 9123 (IR)

Company News

December 2009

As for many businesses, the last 18 months have been particularly challenging. However the strength of the Innov8 Group and the depth of our experience in the SME market place has meant that despite the current economic climate, we have been able to maintain a successful presence in Ireland.

To illustrate this and confirm our commitment to delivering an extraordinary customer experience, we now operate our central support facility internationally, giving you access to more people and knowledge than ever before. This is in addition to the on site support that has always been provided, and is still there for you, when you need it.

Changes to our team

As most of you will already know Kiara O’Mahony has recently left the company for pastures new. The day to day management of our customers will now be handled by Francis Lyons, ex Largo Foods, a longstanding customer of ours. Francis has been working with us for a number of years now, and we are looking forward to adding his extensive knowledge and experience to our already strong team.

After a period of consultation, Cormac McCarthy has decided to pursue other interests and over the next three months will be working with us to achieve a smooth handover to John Tyndall of Innov8 Group. John, originally from Maynooth, has recently been increasing his involvement in the day to day operations of Innov8 Technology Ireland and has been Operations Director of Innov8 Group for approaching 10 years now. His involvement is already proving to be a great success and we will happily put you in touch with some of the businesses John has helped in Ireland in the past few years if you would like to satisfy yourself in this regard.
