How we can assist you

We can provide the services and support you need, whether you choose to export to the UK, or form a UK subsidiary or branch.

Exporting to the UK

If you are a business in the EU or overseas, there are now new VAT requirements when exporting goods to the UK, whether making direct sales via your website, via online market places such as Amazon and Ebay or holding stock in the UK for sale or onward distribution.

VAT / EORI registration in the UK

We can act as your VAT agent, setting up your registration for VAT / EORI in the UK. With a great deal of experience in this area we will advise you on the information that is needed and handle the process for start to finish, liaising with HMRC on your behalf if necessary.

Quarterly VAT returns

The extent of VAT payable will depend on the value of the consignments, whether the sale is B2B or B2C and if the goods are sold through an online marketplace. We can advise what is needed and prepare your quarterly VAT returns if they are required. This includes submitting the return using suitable ‘Making Tax Digital’ software (which is now a requirement for all businesses registered in the UK).

Further support

If you need accounting services in any other territory worldwide, we can introduce you to our trusted contacts via the Praxity alliance.
