VAT for companies in Europe and selling online UK

VAT

Didn't find your answer?

Hi all, could you give me some linghts to the topic as I found it very grey.  If a company which is established in Italy for example, sellg goods online, and via amazon, ebay in the UK,  does this company need to open a branch in the UK and register for VAT?  as ebay want to have VAT number?

 

Any help will be appreciated.

 

thank you.

If goods are located in the UK at the time the order is placed and are sent to the customer from that location, a UK VAT registration is required as there is a zero threshold for businesses not established in the UK.

There is no requirement to open a branch.
