Hello community members, My name is Costin, and I'm a private individual from Romania engaged in selling digital products on eBay UK. Recently, eBay requested that I add a VAT ID to my account. As I am not a business owner and lack knowledge about the UK tax legislation, I find myself in need of guidance. I am uncertain about the steps to follow and the implications of adding a VAT ID as an individual seller. Are there any fellow sellers who have faced similar situations? I would greatly appreciate hearing about your experiences and any advice you might have. Thank you in advance for your insights! Best regards, Costin

Hi Costin Andrei,
If you are selling digital services to individuals in the UK then there would be a requirement to register for VAT in the UK upon making your fist supply.
Please see the guidance below, section 2.3
Who should register for VAT (VAT Notice 700/1) 2. Basic principles
VAT rules for supplies of digital services to consumers The place of supply of digital services
Thank you.
