German sole trader, selling to UK customers. Do I need to register for VAT?

Hi all, I was wondering if someone could help clarify a couple of things about VAT. I'm VAT-registered in Germany as a sole trader and have been for more than 10 years. I've been submitting my VAT returns through the VAT MOSS scheme until Brexit. After Brexit, in 2021, my previous tax advisor advised me to register for VAT in the UK, which I did, and I've been submitting quarterly returns since then. Last year, I changed my UK tax advisor, and they’ve recently told me that it’s not necessary to be VAT registered in the UK as my annual UK sales are below the £85,000 threshold. Most of my UK sales are made through a freelancing platform that is registered in the UK. What advice would you give in my situation?

 

Hi. Can you confirm if your supplies are of goods or services and if they are goods then the value of the goods . Can you also confirm if your customers in the UK are businesses or individuals. Thank you .
