Goods sold in EU to non Vat Reg Business
Permalink Closed

I have just read the weekly bulliten re VAT and exports and strangely enough I had a case this week of doing a sales invoice for goods to a non vat reg company in Southern Ireland.  We did not charge vat but as they are not a registered business I am now thinking perhaps this was the wrong thing to do.  Anyone got any thoughts?

Section 6 of VAT notice 725 "The Single Market" covers sales of goods in the EC to non-VAT registered customers.  It says that the sale is treated as a domestic sale and that UK VAT should be charged.  There are exceptions to this general rule, such as for distance selling (which may require you to register for VAT in the country where the customer is located). Similar guidance is also available here.

Thank you for this link, I had been on HMRC site but was unable to find this extract. I will speak with the customer and rectify the position.

Thank you
