HMRC Admin 25 Response

Hi arpconsulting,
If you are selling goods in to the UK  and the value of the goods is over £135 then there will be a requirement to register for VAT in the UK if you are the importer of the goods in to the UK.
If you are dropshshipping goods from the EU in to the UK then again it will depend on whether you are the importer of the goods in to the UK.
If you are the importer in these scenarios then there will be an instant requirement to register for VAT in the UK.
If you are selling goods to individuals in the UK below a value of £135 then there will be a requirement to register for VAT in the UK upon the first sale made.
If you are sourcing the goods from the UK then you will be making taxable supplies in the UK and again there will be a requirement to register for VAT upon the first sale made.

Hi MJL28,
There is nothing in the guidance regarding living in the property prior to completion.
You have stated that the completion certificate won't be issued until June 2024, so you can put a claim in once you have recieved the certificate.
We have been advised by the DIY unit that it is fine to submit a claim on this basis.
You have 3 months in which to submit from date of certificate issue, please refer to guidance to make sure all conditions are met

Thank you. 

Hi Content consult,
If you provide your services overseas then these will be Outside The Scope of VAT and there will be no requirement to register for VAT.
However you can register for VAT voluntarily.

Hi William Wu,
If you are VAT registered in the UK and you buy goods to export overseas then you can treat the VAT on the purchase as input tax as you are making a zero rated export.
Please see the guidance here:
VAT on goods exported from the UK (VAT Notice 703)
