Dear, All clear, thank you. I will need to register for a UK VAT number correct? As a foreign company, can I apply for a UK VAT number with the tax office directly or do I need some kind of intermediary to apply on behalf of me?

Dear, I am soon starting a dropshipping store based in The Netherlands, of which UK customers will be fulfilled by a UK based company. After the UK customers places an order on my website, I pay this UK company the base product price after which they ship it to the UK customer. In short: The product does not leave the UK and I do not enter the UK. I am based and registered in The Netherlands. My questions: 1. Do I put UK VAT on the invoice for my UK customer? 2. If so, can I get back the VAT that the UK company charges me?
