The United Kingdom VAT regime was introduced in 1973 as part of the UK’s admission to the European Union.  It is based on the EU’s VAT laws, known as VAT Directives, which are implemented into UK legislation as the Value Added Tax Act.  This Act, and subsequent amendments, set the rule for UK VAT registrations, compliance, returns, Intrastat, EC Sales lists and other related issues.

Should you register for UK VAT?

The UK may require foreign businesses to register for UK VAT in certain trading situations.  These include:

  • Importation of goods into Europe via the UK
  • Buying and trading goods in the UK
  • Selling goods to UK consumers through the internet, although there is a VAT registration threshold
  • Holding stocks of goods on consignment in the UK, prior to onward sale to other businesses in the UK or abroad
  • Organising live events and exhibitions with paid-for admission on the door
  • If a company is otherwise a non-VAT trader, but is receiving services in the UK under the reverse charge rule.
  • The self supply of goods.
