Brexit - Beware of VAT 08:07 - Jan 13 with 1469 views | BlueRaider | As we adjust to the new relationship with the EU, it is becoming apparent that one of the big dangers is VAT Businesses - exporting : If you are exporting to the EU, and you ship on DDP terms, you will be liable for the import VAT of the EU country it goes into. If you don't have a VAT registration in that country it will be very difficult to get the money back. Try to renegotiate your terms with your customers. Businesses - importing : You will get charged UK VAT on importing from the EU. Expect EU suppliers who ship to you on DDP terms to ask for their terms to change as they have the opposite problem. As long as you are UK VAT registered you will be able to reclaim the VAT incurred on import. Consumers : If we bought something from an EU country before Brexit, we would have been charged the VAT of that EU country. This should not now happen, so if you do get charged VAT by an EU company you should query it. However, expect to have to pay UK VAT on the import. I hope this helps avoid some pain ! | |

Brexit - Beware of VAT on 10:36 - Jan 13 with 1188 views | noggin | I'm not actually sure EU based companies are obliged to remove VAT when selling to non EU based consumers. Of course, most will for larger amounts but for small amounts, it might not be worth it for them. That being the case, consumers would be liable for double VAT. I remember ordering some motorcycle parts from a UK based company, several years ago. They charged me the VAT and when I queried it (Norway not being in the EU) they sent me evidence of them not being obliged to do so. Of course, I cancelled the order and never used that company again. [Post edited 13 Jan 2021 10:36]

Nor does it in any way equate to this bizarre statement: " an organisation that couldn't organise a pizz up in a brewery." Clearly the poster has been living on Mars for the past year or more. | |

Brexit - Beware of VAT on 15:00 - Jan 13 with 923 views | pennblue | So, my company sells SAAS digital services. Currently we have to charge VAT to our UK customers, but we are up against Oz etc companies who do not, they use the reverse charge mechanism. So can European companies do reverse charging for digital services? No-one seems to be able to tell us the answer. | |
