Frequently Asked Questions
Find out more about Leyton’s VAT Services from our frequently asked questions.
What is VAT and who is required to register for it?
VAT (Value Added Tax) is a consumption tax applied to goods and services. Businesses making taxable supplies in a country are generally required to register for VAT, even if they are not established locally.
Do foreign companies need a local VAT representative to operate in another EU country?
It depends on the country. In many EU Member States, non-EU businesses are required to appoint a fiscal representative to handle VAT registration, filings, and communication with local tax authorities. Requirements for EU businesses and for non-EU countries vary by jurisdiction.

How often do I need to submit VAT returns, and what deadlines apply?

What are the risks of non-compliance with VAT regulations?
Failure to comply can result in financial penalties, interest charges, reputational damage, and additional administrative burdens for your business.
How do I know if my business qualifies for VAT exemptions or reduced rates?
Certain goods and services may be eligible for VAT exemptions or reduced rates depending on the country and local regulations.
Leyton can review your transactions and advise on eligibility to ensure compliance and optimise your VAT position.
What support does Leyton provide to ensure my business stays VAT-compliant?
Leyton offers end-to-end VAT services, including registration, filings, reporting, compliance reviews, and representation before tax authorities, helping you reduce risk and focus on your core business.
How does VAT apply to distance sales in the EU?
Distance sales involve selling goods to private consumers (B2C) in other EU countries without being established there. Once the EU-wide €10,000 threshold is exceeded, VAT must be charged at the customer’s local rate. Leyton can help businesses simplify compliance by registering for the One-Stop Shop (OSS) to report and pay VAT across the EU through a single return.
