What do I need to think about when trading with the United Kingdom after Brexit?

As of the 1st of January 2021, customers with an address in the United Kingdom will be managed in the same way as other non-EU countries. This means that trade with the United Kingdom no longer should be included in the EU periodic VAT declaration and that OSS rules will not apply to customers in the United Kingdom.

For those of you who trade with the United Kingdom today, it is important to know that everything you invoice up until the 31st of December 2020, will be handled according to the rules of trade within the EU, and anything invoiced from the 1st of January 2021, will be handled according to the rules for export. This change will be made automatically in Visma eAccounting Standaard.

For Northern Ireland, certain rules apply and the trade of goods will still be treated as EU trade, while the sales of services will be treated as an export to a non-EU country.

We will not have full support for handling the sales of goods to customers in Northern Ireland on the 1st of January 2021. We are working on a solution and will keep you informed via our news and in the forum. Until then, some manual work will be needed in the program in order for the VAT to be correct.
