International VAT

International VAT advice often requires more than just calculating VAT and submitting VAT returns. We often restructure businesses to minimise VAT costs, and VAT administration, taking into account

• The value and type of product sold.
• Where the product is sourced.
• Where it arrives.
• How it is shipped.
• The VAT rate in the country where the products are finally delivered.
• The use of bonded warehouses – VAT is only paid when products are removed.

We frequently aid drop-shippers with their UK VAT registration and provide VAT agent or VAT representative services.

Areas of International VAT Experience

We help clients reduce their VAT in areas such as:

• Complete VAT forms for the UK – acting as your VAT agent or VAT representative.
• Distance selling into overseas countries.
• Digital delivery of services.
• Use of VAT warehouses.

Examples

• We helped restructure an online merchandise platform to avoid the administrative headache of cross-border VAT reporting.
• When a client’s previous accountant resigned due to international VAT matters, we reviewed the client’s operations. We explained the VAT implications enabling them to become VAT compliant (for the first time).
