- From 1 October 2027, online marketplaces will have to account for VAT on relevant sales made through their platforms by UK VAT-registered businesses.
- The same VAT collection rules will also apply to UK businesses not registered for VAT if their sales through an individual marketplace exceed £90,000 annually.
- The £90,000 threshold is assessed separately for each marketplace.
- Second-hand goods and business-to-business sales are excluded from the new rules.
- ICAEW supports tackling VAT non-compliance, but says the per-platform threshold may miss businesses whose total taxable turnover exceeds the VAT registration threshold, potentially adding complexity without effectively targeting non-compliance.
