Thank you both for the helpful information. Do you have any experience of UK companies supplying hospitality in Germany to a UK business? It seems I can get a ATA Carnet for equipment to take over and bring back and also have to be German VAT registered but would I have any issues with visa for myself or staff for 9 days service? I appreciate this is a different subject but just thought I would ask. Thanks again

I am a UK based company supplying hospitality i.e. serving drinks and food to a UK based company at a trade show in Germany for 10days. - If I am buying food, drinks including alcoholic drinks in Germany but invoicing the UK based business after the event, should I be registered for VAT in German to be able to purchase the goods? I am UK VAT registered and would be quoting in £sterling I presume would be including UK VAT ? - Would I be able to claim Germany VAT back as well? Any thoughts would be welcome.
