VAT number for Reverse charge?

Hello, I am a sole trader, non-VAT registered. If I supply translation services to EU countries under the Reverse Charge scheme, do I need to have my own VAT number (i.e. register for VAT)? Thank you! Kristyna

Hi. If you are providing these services overseas as a business to business supply then they would be Outside The Scope of UK VAT. There would therefore be no requirement to register for VAT although you can do so voluntarily. Please see the link below: Working out whether you need to register  .

Thank you .
