Yes, VAT on services where the place of supply is in the clients location are unlikely to change at all. EU clients will still account for sales using the reverse charge from UK suppliers just as they currently do from other non EU suppliers.
As far as I understand an EC sales list is only required of EU based suppliers and there’s no reporting requirement for non EU members so if there’s no deal I imagine it won’t be needed.

Originally posted by TheCyclingProgrammer View PostNo, the client uses the reverse charge mechanism, not the supplier. For OP, assuming they are supplying professional consultancy services, the supply is simply outside the scope of UK VAT.
OP simply needs to be satisfied that their client is in business - a VAT number is not strictly necessary (the client might not be VAT registered anyway). If a VAT number cannot be obtained, then some other evidence that they are business (e.g. company details on the contract) should be sufficient.
OP may also need to submit an EC Sales List - though I have no idea whether or not that will still be necessary post-Brexit.

You still need to use the Austrian company's VAT number on your invoices.

Originally posted by mdhd View PostFound a contract in Austria. I quoted my rate and mentioend +VAT just to make sure we are on the same page.
The company has turned around saying they don't charge VAT. So I need to tell them all inclusive rate.
How would that work?
The contract only requires few weeks initially in Austria, but rest would be based in the UK working from home.
Any other tax implications?
I have tried searching, can't find a similar example.
I am also already talking to my accountant.
Thanks
