Cross Border VAT

Since Brexit we’ve gained substantial experience assisting clients importing/exporting goods with their VAT.

The Cross-Border VAT Problem

Import VAT can be a cashflow headache, and export VAT can be difficult to manage because it can be affected by:

• The transportation route
• Points of entry and exit
• The type of customer
• Type of sale (services, goods, digital online products, land-based)
• Local, national, and VAT rules within an EU-wide framework.

Many businesses require imports to be duty-free. But, to ensure customs do not hold goods, duty must be paid by the seller.
