VAT Threshold help needed

[funkydavid]

Hello guys i am new on this forum and need a little help with a question. I am registered as self employed however not VAT registered. I am slowly approaching the VAT threshold of £85,000 limit a year and was wondering do i need to be VAT registered if i do not sell any goods in the UK or EU? All of my sales from my online shop are to the US. I have an appointment with a qualified accountant to discuss this, but thought to ask for you guys input on this.

Thanks
David.

Once you reach VAT threshold of £85,000 limit you have to register. More info you may find here https://www.gov.uk/vat-registration

Hi David,

In a previous business i was advised that it was only revenue on VAT-able sales, so your US sales shouldn't count.

All the best

This also was what i have been advised by the accountant i have been in contact with. Thank you for taking your time to reply my question. Much appreciated.

Hi David.

Do you purchase your goods from the UK?

Hi David.

Do you purchase your goods from the UK?

No i dont, my supplier is based in china and that is where i purchase my orders from. Nothing comes to the UK. It goes directly from china to my US customers.
