If your process is the same as mine, you are using a clearing agent to import goods, and that agent will invoice you for the VAT and possibly duty, freight costs, clearing fees, etc. The VAT should be listed as a line item on this invoice. You need to create a custom tax code for 100% (see [the guide](https://www.manager.io/guides/8901)). I called mine _VAT 100% on import_. Apply this tax code to the VAT line item on the purchase invoice from the clearing agent.

There are also instructions in the Guide about tax codes.
