If you have clients abroad the odds are you will have to reverse-charge the VAT. But how does that work? Do you always have to reverse the VAT charge? Are there exceptions? And how does it work when VAT is being reverse-charged to you by a foreign client?<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What is reversing VAT charge?
<\/strong>Reversing charging VAT means you charge 0% percent VAT. The duty to pay VAT shifts from you to your client for the products or services you delivered. Your client can deduct the products and services as a deduction for input tax in his own country. By reverse charging it, the VAT is both declared and deducted in the same country and nobody falls short.<\/p>\n

In order to reverse-charge VAT you need a valid VAT-number of your client. For every invoice with reverse-charged VAT you need to list the VAT-number of your client. Make sure the number is valid so you\u2019re sure you\u2019re dealing with a valid company. You can check the VAT-number through this website\u00a0Vat Information Exchange System<\/a>\u00a0(VIES). This is a site by the European Commission that connects all databases of EU countries.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also possible for a company from abroad to reverse charge VAT to you when they use your VAT id-number. This will be settled with your sales tax. For instance invoices from Adobe (headoffice in Ireland) or an invoice for a Facebook ad.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
