Hi, I am self employed and provide a service B2B for a company in Germany and I understand this to be outside the scope of UK VAT. These services are the sole source of income (no UK customers). I was previously advised on a different forum not connected with HMRC that as this income was over the VAT threshold, even though outside the scope of UK VAT, I was required to register for VAT which I have done. I duly complete my returns with nothing to pay from my accounting software. Was the advice possibly in error ? If it was can I unregister from VAT to simplify my accounting? Will this cause any issue when submitting my Self Assessment as the business income will be over £90,000. Thank you
