VAT Fiscal Representation: Navigating Post-Brexit Compliance for UK and EU Businesses

Brexit has significantly changed VAT rules between the UK and EU, creating new compliance challenges for cross-border businesses.
VAT fiscal representation allows non-established businesses to meet local VAT obligations through a local professional, who is often jointly liable for VAT debts.
UK businesses may need a fiscal representative in some EU countries, depending on local rules, especially for imports or holding stock.
EU businesses generally do not need a fiscal representative in the UK unless there is a history of non-compliance.
The requirement for a fiscal representative varies by country and depends on business activities and local laws.
