  • Selling car parts from Sweden to the UK as a private individual

    Hi, I want to sell custom car parts to individuals in the UK as a private individual in Sweden. The goods have a value of less than 135 GBP. If I understand correctly, I as the seller have to pay VAT during the sale. I am not selling through an online store that can handle VAT. In order to register I follow this guide: https://www.gov.uk/register-for-vat/how-register-for-vat However, after registering I get the message that I need to use a business tax account for this service. This is contradicting what is said in the guide (that you can register as an individual). I would like to know how I should register and pay the VAT for goods valued less than 135 GBP as a private individual outside the UK selling to another private individual inside the UK. Thank you in advance!
