- The UK VAT system is similar to the EU system, preventing double or non-taxation issues
- EU is set to reform its VAT rules on January 1, 2025, affecting how livestream events are taxed
- Currently, livestream events are taxed based on the supplier’s location, but this will change to the customer’s location in the EU
- UK businesses will need to charge both UK VAT and EU VAT for livestreams to EU consumers, while EU businesses won’t charge VAT to UK consumers
- VAT rules for business-to-business providers remain unchanged, but UK suppliers must prove their customers are businesses
- UK businesses may need to restructure to avoid disadvantages due to unchanged UK VAT rules and new EU VAT rules
- Businesses involved in livestreaming should prepare for these changes to avoid double taxation issues
