Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether businesses will need to be VAT-registered in every EU member state where they have clients once the UK has left the EU.

The current rules require some UK businesses to register for VAT in other EU countries, depending on the nature of the transactions and business models.

Our future relationship with the EU is subject to further negotiations. The Government proposes the UK and EU apply a common approach to the VAT processes and procedures for goods that cross the border between us. These processes and procedures will help to make things work well for businesses and individuals.
