Hi Abbas, thank you very much for your kind comment.

You speak excellently. My VAT application has been approved, and I have also received the certificate，and it shows that I have joined the “VAT Annual Accounting Scheme” and “Flat Rate Scheme”，When I log in to My Government Gateway user ID, the system asks me to add a 9-digit VAT tax number. However, every time I enter it, it keeps showing a format error message saying “Enter a VAT number in the correct format.” What could be the reason for this?

How much is cost of registering vat tax certificate for forex non resident eu

[@ilkbaharkunduzu1]

When a foreign firm sell a good that is outside UK and EU at the point of sale VAT is charged which will be paid to government through HMRC quarterly. Below 135 Pound there will be no additional custom duty when you send this product to buyer in UK. However, you have VAT accounting but a a foreign business you warn money. Don't you give UK government any money for the products you sell below 135 Pound? Any yearly payment or anything?

We applied for VAT, after 30days we got a questionnaire, 3 days ago we filled the questionnaire, now the question is when will we get the VAT Number, Kindly help

[@tonydCFO]

I cannot say exactly when you will get the VAT number, however when you do, it should be backdated to the date you put on the application - I hope this helps

Hi. I buy some items from alibaba and I want to sell on ebay. I have Eori but with VAT I don't have. What is it to do ?

[@DuaneJasper]

Thanks for the great video. I have a self employed business letting out rooms and paying a guaranteed rent to landlords. Because of thisi have a high turnover of around £200k, but the expenses of paying the ground rents and utilities are about £170k, will I need to be VAT registered?

[@PJMcInerney]

Generally no vat on residential rental income - there may be a couple of exceptions eg serviced accommodation income but don’t think that applies in this case

[@DuaneJasper]

@@PJMcInerney thanks Happy New Year

[@callumberry7082]

hello - can somebody help me? to sell VAT products do you have to be VAT registered? or can you decide whether or not you wish to, providing you're below the £85,000 limit. It seems like such a basic question but i can't find the answer anywhere! thanks!

[@PJMcInerney]

you can register voluntarily -if that is what you are asking?

[@mostaq9779]

Does anyone know this If turnover is £100k then do I pay vat on £15k or the whole £100k? Thanks

[@PJMcInerney]

Once your t/over is above 85k you register and then start applying vat to all products or services you sell
