- As of January 1, 2021, EU VAT rules no longer have direct effect in most of the UK following Brexit, but UK businesses must still understand how these rules impact their transactions when trading goods within the EU.
- When exporting goods from the UK to the EU, these are considered exports for the UK supplier, which can be zero-rated if proper export evidence is provided; however, an importer of record must be designated in the EU, determined by the agreed Incoterms, with potential VAT registration obligations for the supplier.
- UK businesses taking title to goods in the EU may incur VAT registration requirements even without physical possession; it’s crucial to understand the invoicing chain and movement of goods to ensure compliance and avoid irrecoverable VAT, while Northern Ireland remains subject to EU VAT rules for trading goods.
