living abroad with business in UK

[bambinou]

Hi All,

I have a registered website/business in England but I live in Malta.
For the last 12 months my hosting service provider was charging me UK V.A.T on their services(when I was living in UK still).
Recently , when I have moved to Malta, my invoices from the same people was not showing V.A.T anymore. Because it is sunday, my accountant or theirs will not be there for help, I am doing my account right now and this is why I would appreciate some help from one of you.

My invoice right now shows:

1xhosting of dedicated server solution net= £224.00, v.a.t=0, Gross=£224.00

No V.A.T is showing.

Here are my questions:
Are they not charging me because I live abroad?but Malta is part of EU.


If they are right in this invoicing, how shall I record this bill? I use quickbooks pro 2008.
Shall I create a bill with 0% V.A.T?


Thank you very much for your kind help,

Hi DVWOOLY,

Thank you so much for your help,
What I do not understand is that my business is not in Malta but still in UK, only my wife and I live in Malta.
How can this affect our business V.A.T?

Thank you,


Ben
