My company is registred in London. I will rent office in Belfast.
If I sell goods to EU customers and send it from London I need to pay VAT and report with OSS. There is no threshold of 10000 eur because I send from Great Britan.

1. But what if I send goods from my office in Belfast? Do I need to pay VAT from first sell or I have threshold of 10000 EUR per year?

2. What if I sell services to EU customers, do I need to pay VAT from first sell or I have 10000 eur threshold?

Hello

I'm selling from Northern Ireland into the UK & EU, when selling into the EU you collect the VAT as before (however be careful it is the correct rate as it isnt 20% for everyone like before it varies based on the country)

You will then need to register for IOSS and not the OSS at the end of each quarter you will record the amounts of VAT received from each EU country and pay this amount to HMRC on the IOSS website. Who then send's it out to the correct countries version of HMRC.

One thing to note is depending on your accountancy software you may then need to do a journal entry to remove the VAT paid to the EU and so only leaving your UK VAT to be paid to HMRC as per normal.

That is how it works for a solely Northern Ireland based company. I'm not sure if this applies if the business as offices in the UK and NI. I would assume a simply Google would answer the question.

I hope this helps

There is no 10000eur threshold for non EU companies.

You should use OSS and not IOSS when shipping from NI to the EU. You'd use IOSS if you're sending from GB to the EU.
