Subscription Membership - service or goods

Didn't find your answer?

We purchase a membership subscription to Fobisia in Singapore, and I am not sure if I would class it as a service or goods.

If it is a service would I then use the reverse charge VAT method?

I would not think it would class as goods wherby I would use the postponed VAT method,as it is not a physical item that is being imported.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Memberships (to clubs or organisations) and subscriptions are services. Goods, generally are things you can physically touch, so if you buy a movie on DVD/Blu Ray disc its goods, but if you stream or download the movie, its a service.

You reverse charge services purchases from non-UK suppliers.
