@cobham Did you ever find someone to help you with the uk inheritance from the uk and paying irish CAT on same? I am in the same boat which is how I found this thread. Thanks

Does anyone have any recommendations for someone who can advise me on the double taxation and handling an inheritance from the uk for an irish resident?

Hi,

I’m looking for advice and/or recommendations.

I’m a sole trader selling digital services (web design, hosting etc) worldwide.

The majority of my UK clients are VAT registered but a small number are not.

My understanding is that I need to engage a UK VAT agent to collect and remit to HMRC the 20% UK VAT on these B2C sales.

Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi JR,

You're absolutely right to look into this. Based on HMRC’s official guidance, if you are a non-UK business supplying digital services to UK private consumers (B2C), you must register for VAT in the UK and charge 20% VAT, regardless of your turnover.

Official HMRC Guidance:

“If you supply digital services to UK consumers (non-VAT registered individuals) from outside the UK, you must register for VAT in the UK and charge UK VAT at the standard rate (currently 20%).”
🔗 HMRC: VAT rules for supplies of digital services to consumers

This rule applies even if you only have a small number of B2C clients in the UK.

Legal basis: HMRC VAT Notice 741A (Place of supply of services)

“If you supply services where the place of supply is in the UK… and you are not established in the UK, there is no registration threshold.
You must register for VAT in the UK.”
🔗 HMRC VAT Notice 741A

This confirms that once a B2C digital service is supplied in the UK, VAT registration is mandatory for non-UK suppliers.

B2B vs B2C Summary:

Client Type	VAT Treatment
UK VAT-registered business (B2B)	No VAT charged, reverse charge applies
UK private consumer (B2C)	Must register, charge 20% UK VAT

Next steps:

Register for UK VAT — you can do this directly or through a UK VAT agent.
Start charging 20% UK VAT on B2C sales.
File UK VAT returns (usually quarterly).

Thanks. Am I correct in assuming that prior to Brexit there was a threshold?

Looking for recommendation for accountant experienced in Capital Gains Tax liability and commercial stamp duty liability.

We are selling a house that has a back garden room that has a planning permission as small scale commercial hair salon and my solicitor is asking below.

"In relation to the garden room, you may wish to liaise with accountant in respect of same. This is on the basis that there may be a Capital Gains Tax liability in respect of a portion of the sale proceeds. You might also ask them to confirm if the operation of the garden room as a small scale commercial hair salon would result in a commercial stamp duty liability for the Purchaser."

It's right that you charge 20% VAT on B2C sales to UK clients who aren't VAT registered. The reverse charge system applies to UK clients who are registered for VAT. For sales in the EU, you might also need to use VAT MOSS.

Thanks. I did some more digging including asking some accountants and a couple of queries using AI and it seems the key term used on the HMRC site is the level of "human involvement” - a digital service for the purposes of VAT is one which requires "minimal human involvement”. This is not the case with bespoke web design as it moves into the category of a consultant or professional service and therefore is not subject to VAT, similar to other professional services including accountancy. Thanks all for the guidance, it took a while but I at least have some clarity now.

delete if breaking any rules,

i have what i thought was a simple situation,

wifes dad passed away two years ago,

shares passed on to her mum recently

wife getting her share of shares soon, and their accountant has said the cgt is on the full amount.

i thought the below information ment that her dad passing got rid of the cgt and its only from any increase since he passed/her mum got shares

If you transfer assets to your spouse or civil partner during your lifetime, spousal exemption means no CGT arises on you. Your spouse is deemed to acquire the asset at the same time and cost as you did, ensuring no loss of tax on an eventual sale of the asset. If your spouse acquires assets from you on your death, again no CGT will arise however your spouse will be deemed to acquire the asset at the date of your death (and the value at that time).

i know there will be stamp duty and its not an amount where cat tax comes in.

shares bought in 80s so not know how much they increased till her father passed but accountant wants to say their initial value was 0.00 and that everything is gains

any advice appreciated

Based on what you've said, he's completely wrong and what you've outlined is accurate. But if you've outlined all that to him and he hasn't changed his view, he might not unless a formal opinion is given.

Of course, there could be a technicality that changes things. One thing you said - "wife getting her share of the shares soon". Does that indicate not coming from the mam?

Give me a PM if you want a proper steer on this.
