  • VAT on services for goods exported from the UK

    Hi, I understand that goods purchased in the UK are exempt from VAT if they are exported (provided that certain condition are met). But what about services? If I buy at auction from the UK, VAT is charged on the buyer's premium (a service), not on the good themselves, which are then exported to me in Australia. Is the buyer's premium exempt from VAT for exports?
