We are located in the UK and are VAT registered - we sell works of art to customers all over the world . Artists supply us with works of art on a 'sale or return' basis. We will be selling the work of an artist who is located in France and they will ship directly to the customer from there. Please could you help with how we should account for VAT on the sale to the customer? In addition, we operate the margin scheme for VAT and I'm not sure if this would apply in this scenario or not?
