Zero-Rating your Goods
Article Date: 13 April 2012
To zero-rate goods to an EU VAT registered customer you must illustrate the following details in addition to the information normally required on a VAT invoice issued to a UK customer:
- The letters ‘GB’ (the ‘country identifier’ for the UK) as a prefix to your registration number.
- The VAT registration number, if any, of your customer in the other Member State, including the country identifier as a prefix.
- A reference to explain why the supply has been zero-rated.
The most common reference is ‘zero rated intra-EC supply’, other alternative’s include ‘this is an Intra-Community supply’ and ‘Intra-Community supply subject to VAT in the country of acquisition’.
