VAT and the Netherlands

[Edward Moss]

I'm sending some images (jpegs via email) to a client in the Netherlands, just want to check I've got this right.
If they are VAT (BTW) registered then I don't charge them VAT, is that right?
(Google has confused me!)

Thanks
Ed

I'm in the Netherlands... You don't charge VAT but you'll have to submit a EU sales return. Be sure to get the correct BTW number from the client, as you'll need this for the EU sales return.

Also, If you are going to omit VAT from your invoice for your client in the Netherlands, just make 100% sure that you've got their correct Tax registration number.

You can check it here: http ://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/

If it's wrong you'll be liable for the tax

Have you told HMRC that you intend doing business in the EU?

well if you are registered with HMRC, you ARE doing business in the EU as the UK has been in it since 1971

Yeah but..... You still need to tell em so that they can send you an EC Sales List to fill in. This has to be done about 2 or 3 weeks after your VAT return.

You can do it online though
