VAT on B2C services to Spain wef 1 July 2021

Do I have to charge VAT on the supply of accounting services to Spain?

Didn't find your answer?

I have a client who has recently retired to Spain.  Annually I prepare his UK Tax return in order to supply HMRC with the rentals from his buy to let properties that are situated in England.  I am not VAT registered as the majority of my clients are domestic and my turnover is under £85K.  In order to charge my ex pat client in Spain for doing his tax return with effect from 1 July 2021,  will I need to charge him Spanish VAT and if so does anyone have any advice as to how to go about this?  If I had to do quarterly Spanish VAT returns, presumably using a Spanish agent to do this for me, I suspect this piece of work will cease to be worth it.

Just trying to help. My clients and I are taking advantage of this (it is still a service under s12 and UK is still out of the EU as of 1 July, I don’t know where you see an end date).

There are no changes in July in relation to services, the services rules are as per Neil's article.

The only rules changing in July that I'm aware of are relating to movement of goods, but we're talking services here.
