Hi, I'm just starting to look into contracting, having been offered a 6-month contract, working in UK, for the German office of a US company (no UK site). As I understand it, if I was a Ltd, I would not need to charge VAT, (or be registered, even if value of contract is over limit?), as it's a B2B transaction outside the UK (but within the EU). I would, however, have the option to register, in order to claim back VAT paid on UK purchases, I believe. If any of that is wrong please let me know however that's not my main question:
How would that work if I went through an umbrella? Can I use their VAT registration to claim back VAT somehow? Or is this something to add to the 'Cons' column of the Ltd v Umbrella decision?
Apologies if I've missed something obvious; I couldn't find this covered anywhere on the site which made me wonder if I'd missed something.
