EU-based companies claim that the VAT registration process in the UK has become more complex and lengthier, especially for electronically supplied service providers. Our case study shows that VAT registrations can take up to six months and result in confusion.
The UK‘s HMRC claims that processing VAT registration takes around 40 working days. However, after Britain left the EU, many non-UK businesses have faced a more dire reality, with VAT registration cases extending to up to half a year and resulting in numerous back-and-forth conversations with the regulator.
