A. The tax rules for bartering are basically both parties invoice each other as normal and then instead of receiving payments an offset journal is to be done in the accounts - do not put in a credit note as there will be no backup documentation for this, unless you clearly state as a memo that it is for offset purposes and nil VAT is noted!
