- UK businesses selling goods to the EU must navigate complex VAT and import rules, with different requirements for each country.
- Exporting goods from the UK is usually zero-rated for VAT, but strict evidence of export must be collected and kept for six years.
- Determining who is the importer of record (the UK business or the EU customer) is crucial, as it affects VAT registration and compliance obligations.
- Special rules apply to Northern Ireland, which remains under EU VAT rules for goods, requiring additional compliance steps.
- The IOSS and OSS schemes simplify VAT for certain B2C sales, but only apply under specific conditions (e.g., consignment value under €150 for IOSS).
