RE: VAT and overseas goods sold directly to customers in the UK
Hi,
If a business directly sells overseas goods to an individual in the UK and those goods have a consignment value of £135 or less, then it is the overseas sellers responsibility to apply for UK VAT registration and account for the VAT on the supply.You can see guidance here:
VAT and overseas goods sold directly to customers in the UK

RE: VAT on food for internal meetings / events
Hi,
You can see guidance here:
Catering
If you take sandwiches, or other items of food and drink, to buildings in order to sell them, but have no contract or agreement to do so, this is not a supply in the course of catering and you can zero rate any item that is eligible, you can see guidance here:
Food products (VAT Notice 701/14)
However, if you are supplying the food or drink under a contract, for example to cater for an event, you are making a supply of catering and all your supplies will be standard-rated, unless the catering is supplied on-premises, in which case it will benefit from the temporary reduced rate.
If you make a charge for delivery you should read Postage, delivery and direct marketing:
Postage, delivery and direct marketing (VAT Notice 700/24)

RE: Invoice to China for i.t services, need some help here.
Hi,
If you are supplying digital services to a business overseas then this should be outside the scope of UK VAT. You would still complete box 6 of the VAT return to reflect that there is a supply but there would be no corresponding VAT in box 1. You can see guidance here:
VAT rules for supplies of digital services to consumers
Thank you. -

RE: VAT Help - Digital Artwork
Hi,
The place of supply of the service determines whether this is deemed as a supply in the UK and hence whether you would need to consider these supplies as part of your taxable turnover in the UK. The general rule for services to individuals deems the supply to take place where the supplier belongs and so supplies to your UK customers will be part of your UK turnover. You can see guidance here:
The place of supply rules for services
However if you are supplying these services to the EU and the USA then please see the guidance here:
B2C services of a professional, technical, financial, intellectual or other intangible nature supplied to customers outside the UK
Thank you. -

RE: Is a tax refund considered taxable income
Hi,
No, your refund is effectively income from 2021 to 2022 that is being returned to you after we have confirmed how much tax you actually owe for that year. You do not need to declare that refund in 2022 to 2023.
Thank you.
