Zero rate VAT - project located overseas

[Jin]

Hi all,

It is a small 1-person consulting business expected to be under VAT threshold.
But I need to check, in case I need to or decide to register, am I need to charge VAT for
1) a job (consulting) done for a client located outside the UK and/or the EU?
2) a job done for a client located in the UK, but for a project located outside the UK/EU?

Thanks.
