Youtube income Raju

Hi I have a youtube channel and have my customers based abroad who subscribe to my channel. I am uk based LTD company. I want to clarify the VAT treatment of B2C customers abroad. I also use WHOP who state they are merchant of record who collect and account for VAT on my behalf and pay the VAT to HMRC, Is this something acceptable, this would mean i only receive net sales in my bank

Hi,
If you are providing digital services to consumers oversees then these supplies would be Outside The Scope of UK VAT..
If you are supplying digital services to consumers in the EU then there would normally be a requirement to register for VAT in the EU.
However if you are making these supplies to the EU via a platform then the platform would normally be the ones responsible for accounting for the VAT on your behalf.
Please see below:
Digital portals, platforms, gateways and marketplaces
Thank you.

Hi, Please can you help and provide information on how to register for VAT EU, this is fairly a small LTD and we may not hold capacity to arrange for this. Would it be possible just to charge UK vat on EU sales and this way sales are easily dealt with. Also I have seen information that the VAT Moss system doesn't exist post Brexit.

Hi, I started the business in Feb 24 had payments in the bank and trade. I started to use a platform from December 24 they now handle the VAT element. However I went over the threshold in October 24 would this mean i would need to prepare the VAT return for 2months for UK customers only. Lasty if i dont want to register for VAT in the EU as UK is not part of the EU, could i just charge the EU b2c customers normal UK vat and pay VAT in the UK.

Hi,
Please refer to the following guidance under section VAT accounting options for UK businesses supplying digital services to consumers in the EU:
VAT accounting options for UK businesses supplying digital services to consumers in the EU
If you are dealing with businesses please refer to 741A section 6 below:
The place of supply rules for services
Thank you.

Hi,
Once you register for VAT, we will generate your return obligations based on periods you select. You could not charge UK VAT is it is not appropriate to charge this. Please refer to notice 741A Section 3 and 6 below:
B2C supplies of digital services
Thank you.

Hi, sorry I've missed the fact the I have uk customers too, so 10% of the income is from UK customers. My question is if the company started trading in feb 24 went over the VAT threshold in October 2024 and i started using the platform for sales collection and reporting in december 24 the 2 months gap for oct and nov do i need to register and pay vat for the 10% uk customers only. please clarify.

Hi Talib Mustafa,
If you're taxable supplies went over the threshold in October 2024 then there would have been a requirement to have registered for VAT at that time.
You would have needed to notify us within 30 days from the end of the month that this occurred.
Please se the guidance below:
Who should register for VAT (VAT Notice 700/1)
Thank you.
