    Just to add to this - as VAT registered in an EU country you have to self-account for VAT on purchases from a supplier in any other country, whether within the EU or not. In practice, it is just a bookkeeping entry - no money is actually payable. You record the invoice from the Gibraltar supplier just like any invoice from another EU supplier. There is no difference. If the non-EU supplier (e.g. Gibraltar) is registered for VAT in the EU (such as under the MOSS scheme) then you should give them your VAT id and they should not charge VAT (as you will do it for yourself instead).

    UK VAT When paying invoice from Gibraltar Corp?

    Hey everyone...

    I am quite confused! When my UK company receives an invoice from a company in Gibraltar,
    which provides consultancy and marketing services, I am required to pay/account for UK VAT?
    It is my understanding that although Gibraltar is in the EU, it is outside the scope of VAT within
    the UK and EU (just like the US for example).

    Any advice is greatly appreciated.

    My research:

    1. https://www.gov.uk/government/public...ly-of-services

    "2.5 UK territorial limits and the VAT territory of the EU
    The UK consists of Great Britain, Northern Ireland and the waters within 12 nautical miles of their coastlines. The Isle of Man is treated as part of the UK for VAT purposes and VAT is chargeable in the Isle of Man (under Manx Law which generally parallels UK legislation). There’s no VAT in the Channel Islands or Gibraltar, which are outside the UK and EU for VAT purposes."


    2. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/vat-eu-c...ther-languages

    The following are not part of the EU VAT area, sales to these countries mustn’t be included on your ESL:

    Andorra
    The Channel Islands
    Gibraltar
    Mount Athos
    San Marino
    Vatican City

    Thank you.
