How to reclaim VAT for services outside of the UK?

How do I reclaim VAT for services outside of the UK?

Didn't find your answer?

Hello everyone,

Excuse me for the beginner question, but how do I reclaim VAT charged by service providers outside of the UK? I have an ecommerce business and some of the advertising services are provided by a company in Luxembourg who then sends me the invoices with VAT including their Luxembourg VAT number. Do I need to reclaim that in Luxembourg even though I'm not registered there or can I just do it through the UK where my company is based? 

Thanks in advance!

I thought you were an accountant? If not, I think you need one.
