- HM Revenue and Customs is investigating the VAT status of online traders in the UK
- They are contacting businesses registered at the address of their agent or a serviced office
- The purpose is to verify if these businesses are established in the UK
- If not established, they will be treated as a non-established taxable person (NETP)
- The initiative aims to ensure correct administration of VAT by online marketplaces
- Marketplaces should withhold VAT on sales made by NETPs and remit it to HMRC
- The GBP85,000 VAT registration threshold does not apply to NETPs
- NETPs must register for VAT as soon as they make supplies to UK recipients.
