Hi, We are a New York-based company (film production) that doesn't have a branch in the UK but is hiring some goods and services here in the UK, and I'd like to get some clarity about the VAT application. To clarify, no filming activities are taking place in the UK and we have no employees in the UK. Here are examples of goods/services we will hire and/or purchase: - Hiring a sound studio for some days to record score: does the supplier have to apply VAT, and if so, can we claim it back? - Paying services to companies/VAT-registered sole traders providing services in the UK for our US-based company: do they have to apply VAT, and if so, can we claim it back? - Purchasing good in the UK such as hard drives and other products: can we claim VAT back? Thank you for your help!
