Course description

According to the various VAT place of supply rules for different international services, there are circumstances in which a UK supplier should not charge VAT, or that the supplier must register for VAT in another country. However, figuring out which VAT implications apply to which services can be difficult, as the line between them can often be very fine.


Gwen Ryder presents this live and interactive broadcast which will explore the VAT rules for all international services supplied from the UK to customers in the EU and the rest of the world, and vice versa, including a summary of the new EU simplifications for certain ‘B2C’ services.

Training Course Content

Introduction

Not all services are the same - there are different VAT place of supply rules for different services. This could mean that a UK supplier should not charge VAT, or sometimes that the supplier must register for VAT in another country. The line between one type of service and another is often very fine and hence, different VAT implications could follow accordingly.

This virtual classroom session explores all the VAT rules for all international services supplied from the UK to customers the EU, and the rest of the world (or which take place in the EU) and vice versa. It also includes the EU simplifications for certain ‘B2C’services from 1 July 2021 (The One Stop Shop-OSS).

The session is aimed at those who need to understand these complex rules ‘inside out’ and a good grasp of non-international VAT matters is assumed. It is also suitable for advisors outside of the UK that need to be clear about the UK rules.
