Do I need a TVA number to apply for IOSS
I have a microenterprise (originally AE) that I use to sell fiction books I鈥檝e written online. Until now I鈥檝e sold ebooks through Payhip so they have handled the TVA issue. But now I want to sell print and audiobooks.
I鈥檓 not near the 10k threshold (and unlikely to as my market is mainly US/UK), but does that stop me from applying for TVA intracommunautaire ?
The reason being is that the books are printed and shipped in the UK by a third-party logistics partner and I would like to apply for an IOSS number so EU customers don鈥檛 get charged duty. I think I need the TVA number before I can apply for the IOSS.
In addition, I believe I need to apply to HMRC for a UK VAT number to supply to UK customers because books are zero-rated not exempt 鈥� does having a UK VAT number have any effect on my microenterprise status?
Thank you.
