Estate Agent commission charged to Swiss customer

Posted by aadil PM | on Wed, 05/10/2011 - 18:04 1062 4 comments | report

My client, an estate agent based in UK has just sold a property and has earned a six figure commission. The customer (who will pay the commission) is based in Switzerland, which I believe is not in the EU.

Should UK vat be charged by my client?

My thoughts are that no Vat is chargeable. But would be grateful for confirmation.

Thanks

VAT is chargeable if the property is in the UK
