I see. Do you mind spending another 5 and tell the answer to this question: suppose someone sells online courses. And they don't themselves reside in the EU, but the have customers who do. Should they register for VAT?
- Nimitz14 8y agoWhat do you mean "should they register for VAT"? You should be registering for VAT in your home country anyways. Or are you talking about additionally registering for VAT MOSS? The answer is no you don't have to, it's just convenient because it's less admin (as otherwise you should be registering for VAT in each EU country that you have customers). I knew all that from the previous 5 minutes I spent on it.
- T2_t2 8y agoAll this stuff is super confusing. https://www.austrade.gov.au/contact/faqs/i-want-to-export-my-product-to-the-eu-including-uk https://www.austrade.gov.au/contact/faqs/i-want-to-export-my... says you need to register if: > your VAT taxable turnover is more than £85,000 (the 'threshold') in a 12 month period > you expect to go over the threshold in a single 30 day period WTF? How the hell would anyone know that? What if you never sell to the UK, but someone goes on a run because some product randomly becomes popular. It is such an unnecessary minefield.
- alwayseasy 8y agoThe bullet point right below the 2 you quoted literally answers you question. "If neither you nor your business is based in the UK. You must register as soon as you supply any goods and services to the UK (Same with EU)". Alternatively, don't do business in a country you consider to complex to deal with.
- Nimitz14 8y agoYou can register after the fact. Why don't you people inform yourselves instead of being such whiny, clueless brats.
