Does anyone know if VAT applies in case I am living in England and invoice a company in Germany?



Thanks,



Aline.

No VAT Jan 14, 2003

If you invoice an foreign client there is no VAT, in any country.

Good luck!

To be 100% certain, check on HM C&E www.hmce.gov.uk; you can even submit a quest... See more
