EU VAT Rates 2019

[brian!]

So far, there have been no standard rate VAT changes in 2019, so the values from the EU VAT Rates 2018  page still apply - i'll update this page if there are any VAT changes this year.

• EU VAT Rates 2018
• EU VAT Rates 2017
• EU VAT Rates 2016

One potential change that may be of interest to UK users is, should there be a "no-deal" Brexit, then there will no longer be a UK-based HMRC portal to submit EU VAT returns.

If the UK leaves the EU without an agreement, businesses that sell digital services to consumers in the EU will be able to register for the MOSS non-union scheme.

MOSS is an online service that allows EU businesses that sell digital services to consumers in other EU member states to report and pay VAT via a single return and payment in their home Member State. Non-EU businesses can also use the system by registering in an EU Member State.

If the UK leaves the EU with no agreement, businesses will no longer be able to use the UK’s Mini One Stop Shop (MOSS) portal to report and pay VAT on sales of digital services to consumers in the EU.

Businesses that want to continue to use the MOSS system will need to register for the VAT MOSS non-Union scheme in an EU Member State. This can only be done after the date the UK leaves the EU. The non-union MOSS scheme requires businesses to register by the 10th day of the month following a sale. You will need to register by 10 April 2019 if you make a sale from the 29 to 31 March 2019, and by 10 May 2019 if you make a sale in April 2019.

Alternatively, a business can register in each EU Member State where sales are made.

I guess that this is related just to UK sellers only, who want to sell to EU consumers.

If any european-based company will sell digital services to a UK consumer, after Brexit no VAT will apply to this sell... just as happen for any other no-european country in the world.

it's complicated enough just trying to figure out the UK side of things if there is no-deal, without worrying what the other EU27 are going to do!

even if we leave the EU, we will still be an European country! 🙂
