Question
Hi there,
I’ve read many questions & replies regarding VAT to non EU. But just want to clarify a little further.
I am aware of zero rating the VAT, does this also apply to the service charges I’ve done for an order, such as documentations fees and freight forwarding’s?
Thanks,
Answer
Dear Ken,
As the export is outside the EU it should be zero rated as you are already aware. Your freight and charges invoice from your freight forwader should be / would be zero rated for VAT as export is outside of the EU.
The invoice from the Chamber for Certs of Origin, etc, would have VAT charged at 20%, and assuming your compnay is VAT registered, you would claim the VAT back in your quarterly return and not charge it to your client.
