  • RE: VAT on digital sales to non UK countries and Uk

    Alright, thank you for the response. If I understand correctly, I do not need to charge VAT to UK users in this case? What about American users in this situation?
  • VAT on digital sales to non UK countries and Uk

    Hello, here is my question: I have an LTD company. My content is available digitally for viewing and downloading. I sell my copyright content. (B2C sale) The payment is handled by a payment gateway for a fixed percentage, and it transfers the revenue to me. In return, I issue an invoice to them on a weekly basis. In the payment gateway system, the subscribers can be viewed and categorized. Now comes the part that I don't see very clearly. 95% of my end users are outside the UK (Europeans and Americans). My annual sales revenue from the UK is a maximum of 7000 pounds/year. Is it necessary for me to register for VAT in this case if I do not sell within the UK for £90,000, but my revenue exceeds this threshold? I read that in this case, I should register for VAT under the 'One Stop Shop' (OSS), but if I understood correctly, I first need a proper UK VAT registration. The accountant says, why would I want VAT registration if I barely do business in the UK? He doesn't really want to deal with it and has no real insight into it. I am very interested in what the exact procedure is in this situation. I hope to finally receive useful and accurate information here. Thank you.
