VAT for EU Company selling UK to UK

Dear, I am soon starting a dropshipping store based in The Netherlands, of which UK customers will be fulfilled by a UK based company. After the UK customers places an order on my website, I pay this UK company the base product price after which they ship it to the UK customer. In short: The product does not leave the UK and I do not enter the UK. I am based and registered in The Netherlands. My questions: 1. Do I put UK VAT on the invoice for my UK customer? 2. If so, can I get back the VAT that the UK company charges me?

Hi,
If the goods are being sourced by you in the UK and then sold on to a UK customer then there are two supplies taking place and both will need to have VAT attached to them as they are both supplies taking place in the UK.
The other company will charge you UK VAT which you should be able to recover as input tax subject to the rules below:

Thank you.

Dear, All clear, thank you. I will need to register for a UK VAT number correct? As a foreign company, can I apply for a UK VAT number with the tax office directly or do I need some kind of intermediary to apply on behalf of me?
