overseas contractor working in the uk for a uk registered agent.
Permalink Closed

I'm an englishman based in The Netherlands and was contracted by a uk agent to work in the UK. Both of us are VAT registered, the agent with the UK HMRC and myself with Dutch authority. The agent has refused to pay VAT as I am not UK registered. 

My understanding of VAT in the EU is they are liable and can reclaim against an overseas payment.  Am I understanding this correctly as my book work is in need of completing and I cant reconcile the numbers.

Any body had any experience of this. Thanks.

As I understand it, VAT is not chargeable between EU businesses. You will take the UK VAT number, and report the sale on your VAT return as per the Dutch rules.

If the UK was selling to you, they would also have to complete and submit an EC sales list - where they note your number down, and the value of the sale, on a special return each quarter - perhaps you have a similar process?
