VAT
Hi, My company is a UK VAT registered company, we are ordering goods valued over £135 from overseas factories for reselling. Case 1: I am going to order some goods from a factory in Spain for resell to a German company. The Spain factory issue an invoice with Spanish VAT included to my company and then send the goods to Germany directly. Can my company claim back the VAT paid? Case 2: I am going to order some goods from a factory in China for reselling to a UK company. The Chinese factory will issue invoice to my company on EXW term, I will arrange freight forwarder to pick up the goods from the factory, then the goods will be sent directly from China to my UK client (VAT registered). I am planning to offer 2 options to my client, may I know if both of the following will work? (a) The import VAT and custom will be billed to my UK client, then my company will issue a non-VAT invoice to client (b) The import VAT and custom be prepaid by my company first, then my company will issue a VAT invoice to client. Can I bill my client on the customs duties too? Thanks.
