VAT on Organising an Event Abroad

Hi I am looking at organizing an event abroad in Spain. The event will be held in a hotel, and I will be paying for the stay in the hotel, food, local performers etc. I will then charge these costs to my client, who are a UK based business, plus my service charge for doing this. I wanted to know if the whole of my charge to my client would be subject to VAT (including expenses paid abroad where the event will take place) or just my service charge element? Thanks

Hi,
If you are reselling travel services as a tour operator then this could be covered under the Tour Operators Margin Scheme and it would be charged at the zero rate of VAT as it will be consumed outside the UK.
Please see below:
Tour Operators' Margin Scheme (VAT Notice 709/5) 2. Introductions to TOMS
If the supply doesn't come under the Tour Operators Margin Scheme then it will be subject to the Place of supply Rules as per the following guidance:
Place of supply of services (VAT Notice 741A) 6. The place of supply rules for services
Thank you.
