To answer my own post...

After adding the VAT account it is necessary to go to system - taxes to 
set the rate. Here it is possible to set an end date for the rate.

Next all customers, suppliers, parts and services need to have the VAT 
rate box ticked - this is a bit of a bind - is there anyway of 
automating this easily?

But the Brucie bonus is that it looks like the VAT rates will be set 
correctly for future invoices produced by the scheduled transactions.

Cheers,

Kevin
