Simplifying Complex B2B Transactions
From chain transactions to triangulation — we handle the complexity so you can focus on your business.
Chain Transactions
Multi-party supply chains across borders require careful analysis of where VAT is due and who accounts for it.
Triangulation
Simplified triangulation rules can reduce registration obligations — our team identifies when and how to apply them correctly.
Reverse Charge
When reverse charge applies, the buyer accounts for VAT. We ensure invoices and returns reflect this correctly.
Intracommunity Supplies
Zero-rated supplies between EU-registered businesses require correct documentation and EC Sales List reporting.
VAT Rate Review
Provide your commodity codes and we confirm the correct VAT rates for your products across all relevant countries, with legal justification.
Onboarding Audit
Every new wholesale client receives a thorough VAT audit to identify refundable input VAT and catch potential compliance issues early.
Avoid overpaying or undercharging VAT
Simply provide us with your commodity codes and we will identify the applicable rates for your products across various countries, including the legal justification for each rate.
Frequently asked questions
Is a VAT number necessary for wholesale purchases?
In theory, a VAT number isn’t required to make wholesale purchases. However, most suppliers will request one as a means to verify that their customer is indeed a business.
Do wholesalers charge VAT?
Yes, except when the reverse charge mechanism applies. In such cases, the wholesaler excludes VAT from the invoice and states “reverse charge mechanism”, allowing the customer to account for VAT as both input and output on their return.
How should wholesalers calculate VAT?
VAT is a percentage applied to the net value of your product. For instance, if you sell pens for £10 in the UK and the standard VAT rate is 20%, you add 20% of £10 — charging your customer £12 in total.
Should I charge VAT when selling wholesale?
Yes, unless your products are zero-rated, VAT exempt, or subject to the reverse charge mechanism.
