VAT - Canada Dropship to UK

Hi, Just trying to get our first order to dropship into the UK from Canada and we were looking at finalizing things. I just wanted get some feedback if our understanding of the VAT rules on electronics is accurate. We are Company A.   - CO. A(CDN) & CO. G(UK) are related, CO. N is the end customer - Shipment Originated from CO. A directly drop shipped to CO. N - CO. G will be invoiced from CO. A - CO. A will be invoiced VAT by UPS - CO. G will invoiced and will collect VAT from CO. N - CO. G will pay VAT to HMRC - CO. N will pay VAT once to CO. G - In order for CO. A to recover the VAT to be paid to HMRC -Do we invoice CO. G the VAT piece so it can be recovered on their end? -Or does CO. A recover funds when a VAT account is setup?

Hi,

Please can you confirm where each company is based, whether they are in Canada or in the UK? Also, who is the importer of the goods in to the UK and who will receive the C79 certificate?

Thank you.

The question you ask is quite complicated for a forum. There are a lot of possible answers and it’s very easy to get wrong so you may be better getting some professional advice. I would also add - which companies if any are UK VAT registered as this will influence who can charge or recover import VAT.
