European VAT

Giorgio

Hi,
I am self-employed with a UTR number; my annual income is below 85k, so I didn’t register a VAT as I am a web designer.
I often sell services to people in Europe and Australia. What should I do for the VAT in those countries?
thank you

If you’re under the UK VAT threshold, you don’t need to register for VAT, but when selling services to EU and Australian clients, you should check if reverse charge applies in the EU and whether you need to register for GST in Australia for sales above their threshold.

Hi Giorgio,

If your business isn’t VAT registered, you will not add anything to your invoices. You only charge VAT if you are registered.

If registered, you would charge VAT on work to your UK clients. For overseas clients the rules can vary, but, generally speaking, most overseas clients would fall outside the scope of UK VAT rules, so you wouldn’t charge them VAT.

All the best,

Katie
