  • RE: Exporting goods to the UK for under 135£

    Hello, Thank you very much for the answer and support. I tried to contact the number provided, but unfortunately I and was asked to send an email. One other question. My business is quite small in the UK, well below 90.000£ per year. I see that the VAT registration is only needed for businesses with sales above that threshold. ( https://www.gov.uk/register-for-vat) If I am selling below 90.000£ per year, then I assume I don't need to have a registration in the UK, even if I start selling with incoterms DDP ( delivery duties paid). Am I correct? If the above is true, can I assume that I don't need to pay any VAT on orders below 135£? Or no matter my volume of sales, I still need to complete a VAT return form and pay for VAT? Thank you once again, Miguel
  • Exporting goods to the UK for under 135£

    Hello, I am part of a company that sells products worldwide. We are based in the Netherlands, and the UK is one of our markets. We receive weekly complaints from our customers regarding duties they need to pay for our orders, so we are considering changing our shipping terms to DDP. Through our research, if we do this, we will be charged VAT/duties by our shipper ( UPS) for orders above 135£. We are clear on this point. Nevertheless, we have questions regarding orders below 135£. We will not be paying VAT on those, but I believe we should. Are you able to guide me through the steps I need to take to make sure I report the values correctly and pay the VAT I need to pay for the orders below 135£? Does my company need to create a UK Entity / have a UK fiscal number to process these values? Please let me know if I can get this information from any of your pages, or if there is any phone number I should call. Thank you in advance, Miguel
