Should my newly formed limited company register for VAT in order to sell goods online?
Hi Mark Harris,
If you are a UK established business and selling products in the UK then there is no requirement to register for VAT unless the Registration threshold is breached.
You can however register voluntarily if you wish, please see the guidance below:
3. Working out whether you need to register
Unfortunately we can't produce confirmation to you that you don't require a VAT Registration and so you would need to contact the marketplace regarding alternative evidence you can provide them.
Thank you.

RE: Selling car parts from Sweden to the UK as a private individual
Hi jojjoalex,
Please see the guidance regarding the sale of goods to UK consumers below a value of £135:
Changes to VAT treatment of overseas goods sold to customers from 1 January 2021
When you set up an online account to register for VAT you must set this up as an Organisation and not an Individual as an Individual account is used to set up personal services like PAYE.
So in order to register for VAT as an overseas sole trader please follow the link below:
Register for VAT

RE: EORI Change
Hi Colin Nicholls,
You will need your VAT registered EORI number to be linked to the correct CDS account in order that it brings through the PVA statements and C79's.
Please contact our Online Services Helpdesk on 03002002600 as they may need to remove your old CDS account so that you can create a new one.
You will only be able to view your PVA statement and C79's where the correct EORI number has been used on the import documentation.
Please see the links below for accessing these:

Check how to get your import VAT certificate (C79)
Thank you.

Hi Hasan Ghaffoor,
If your VAT registered client has used a VAT registered EORI number for the import of the goods then they should be able to view a digital C79.

VAT exemption for services that are directly supervised by a registered health professional VAT VAT
Hi Matt,
Paragraph 5.3 refers directly to care services that may be VAT exempt when all listed conditions are met.
The first condition being-
the services are supervised by one of the registered health professionals listed in paragraph 2.1 and the supervisor is professionally qualified to perform and supervise the service.
Services provided by Psychotherapists are not listed in paragraph 2.1 ‘Meaning of a health professional’ therefore the services can not be exempt.
Thank you.
