My company is based abroad but is VAT registered in the UK. My UK accountant registered my company for VAT in the UK in 2021, providing its UK address. Is it currently correct to have an accounting address for VAT purposes in the UK? Should I change the address on my Government Gateway account? Thank you in advance

Hi,

If you are an overseas business and not established in the UK then we would hold your overseas address and you would then be registered at our Ruby House address in Aberdeen.

However if the accountant is a tax agent and completed a VAT1TR form then they would have provided their UK address and this would be your principal place of business in the UK. You can see guidance below:

NETPs — tax representatives and agents

Thank you.
