International VAT is a minefield, and one that the government have announced they’ll be cracking down on. If you sell online to clients outside of the UK, this is something we can help you with.
It’s a hot issue, as covered in the last Budget. Where overseas businesses sell goods to UK consumers via online marketplaces and those goods are in the UK at the point of sale, there are new rules to hold the online marketplace liable for VAT.
UK businesses selling goods via online marketplaces.
Non-UK businesses selling goods online that it should be registered for VAT in the UK.
Online marketplaces must ensure that VAT numbers displayed for third party sellers on their websites are valid.
All of these requirements will be applicable to a regulatory penalty if not met.
The changes to EU VAT require companies to overcome substantial difficulties to be compliant. Our in-house ex-HMRC Inspector has nearly 30 years’ experience and can therefore help businesses manage their international VAT issues with the very best advice and support. She understands that sometimes you may require guidance in plain English to ensure your International VAT obligations are watertight and you are fully compliant.
Having spent nearly 30 years working for HMRC as a Higher Level Tax Inspector, it's a pleasure to now help businesses of all sizes navigate this increasingly complex issue
