    Charging US client. How does it work?

    I've been wondering, how does it work, for things like web design, or sysadmin.
    Do you charge VAT?
    Any other costs for either side?

    When I worked for a US company I was told by my accountant not to charge VAT.
    Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

    I preferred version 1!

      If the service was provided from the UK then it is not UK vatable - see the flowchart on place of supply on HMRC.

      It might be wise to check what the US rules are in the state on the import of electronic services. It's unlikely to require you to charge any US charges - but you customer might have some they should pay (unlikely though).
