GSP and sales reporting for a vat registered seller

[habbymart]

I have recently re-joined the GSP program and understand eBay provide us with the sales proceeds with VAT removed. I know this but my question is: How do I identify these sales when I report my VAT due so I don't report these sales as VAT collected. ...

Are you on the standard VAT accounting scheme, a margin scheme or the flat rate scheme?

I'm on the standard rate VAT scheme

You need to contact eBay's customer services to obtain proof of export in order to zero-rate your GSP sales. You will need the proof of export for each sale as you delivered to a UK address.  

Where your VAT return is concerned you include the value of all your GSP sales in box 6 but you still reclaim any input VAT you paid when you purchased the items.

I download the excel sales report and then using the filter feature it's pretty easy to remove non UK sales.  Just beware the sales report as it gives a total for multiple purchases on the line above the individual purchases so there is a risk of paying too much VAT if you're not careful.
