VAT Registration - VAT on Export Services

Client Supplies Property Services in UK, EU & USA

Didn't find your answer?

Hi

Just looking on some advice for the above. Clients sales have been predominately in EU member state and is close to breaching the UK VAT threshold, from EU and UK sales.

I'm thinking we should register the client for UK VAT, EU sales would be zero rated and apply reverse charge.

Sales and purchases outside UK & EU outside scope but potentialy needs to register for VAT in that country if registration limits exceeded?

All thoughts welcome.

Your question first says your client supplied property services “in” the UK, EU and USA.

It then goes on to say that it’s the clients that are based abroad.

Are the services carried out in the UK or where the client is based?

You say property services, but don’t give information about what the actual supply might be.

Some countries have a nil threshold for non-resident companies depending on the supply.

Since 2004, EU countries are no longer permitted to insist on foreign companies appointing VAT Fiscal Representative. Countries such as Spain have been slow to adopt this, however. But you don’t say which countries in the EU is relevant to your client.

Your post is devoid of much information, to be honest.

It’s a pity that you posted anonymously, because if you post now, it will make your anonymity redundant, and make you look rather silly.

My post seems pretty clear to me.

The business in marketing of property which is located in the UK, EU and USA.

These are to companies in the EU (property located in EU & USA) and individuals in the UK.

The UK VAT threshold has not been breached from sales relating to property or individuals located in the UK or EU.

Why do you think EU sales would be zero-rated?
