# How do I record VAT on import of goods?

If your organisation is based out of the UK, and is registered for VAT, you will not be able to directly record VAT on import of goods. This scenario will arise when you select **Non European Union** as the **VAT Treatment** and **Goods** as the **Expense Type**.

It will also arise when creating Bill for **Non European Union** contacts and when **Goods** is selected as the **Product Type** of the item/bill. Also, the VAT will not be recorded as part of the bill. However, to record the VAT for this expense, you will have to manually calculate the VAT applicable and record it as a separate expense. While recording an expense for the VAT, select **Input VAT** as the **Expense Account**.
