RE Non resident of UK selling services to Uk based clients
Hi.
There will be a requirement for an overseas person to register for VAT in the UK if they make supplies which are deemed by the Place of Supply Rules to be in the UK.
Please see the rules regarding the Place of Supply of Services.:
The place of supply rules for services
If the overseas person is making supplies of this kind in the UK then the overseas person would need to register for VAT immediately upon the first sale being provided.
Please see the guidance below:

RE C79 Certificates
HI.
The C79 Certificate is generated automatically whent the import declaration is made and this will be sent to the importer whose EORI number has been used on the declaration.
The freight agent who completes the declaration will therefore need your correct EORI number in order for you to receive the C79 Certificate.
I would relay this back to your overseas supplier. -
RE VAT Involving US Customer
Hi.
If the goods are not being exported out of the UK then you are making a UK sale to the US company on which UK VAT would need to be charged.
When the US company makes their supply to their UK customer then this sale would attract VAT and so there would be a requirement for the US company to register for VAT in the UK.

RE Importing digital games (software) from US and exporting outside the UK
Hi.
If you are making digital sales to businesses overseas then this should be Outside The Scope of UK VAT.
Please see the guidance below:
The place of supply rules for services.
If you receive services from overseas then these should be accounted for under the VAT reverse charge by yourself:
Please see the guidance below:
Reverse charge
The VAT reverse charge should be accounted for on the same return and so you would account for the figures as an input and as an output.
Please see the guidance below as to how to account for the reverse charge on your VAT return:
