Proposed Changes to 0% VAT Rate on Exports

  • The export VAT rules would be aligned more closely with EU law by removing the requirement to have official customs export documents to qualify for the 0% VAT rate.
  • Alternative proof of export would be accepted, including carrier/freight documents, postal delivery confirmations, or non-EU customs import clearance documents plus a buyer statement.
  • For 0% VAT on advance payments, suppliers would need to have been VAT-registered for at least 12 months before filing the return, if using alternative export evidence.
  • The changes broaden acceptable documentation for the 0% export rate, but customs documents may still be needed to avoid customs-law issues.
