Hi I have a youtube channel and have my customers based abroad who subscribe to my channel. I am uk based LTD company. I want to clarify the VAT treatment of B2C customers abroad. I also use WHOP who state they are merchant of record who collect and account for VAT on my behalf and pay the VAT to HMRC, Is this something acceptable, this would mean i only receive net sales in my bank

Hi,
If you are providing digital services to consumers oversees then these supplies would be Outside The Scope of UK VAT..
If you are supplying digital services to consumers in the EU then there would normally be a requirement to register for VAT in the EU.
However if you are making these supplies to the EU via a platform then the platform would normally be the ones responsible for accounting for the VAT on your behalf.
Please see below:
Digital portals, platforms, gateways and marketplaces
Thank you.
