VAT Information for Overseas Customers

Introduction

VAT rules for supply of services are changing (January 2010 and January 2011) and are, as you would expect, very complex.

This table 'shows' the timing of the changes. Basically that means that there is no change from the way things have been for training services until January 2011.

Currently until January 2011, if you are attending a course with us in the UK then OTT has to charge you UK VAT (Value Added Tax) as we are obliged to charge tax based on the 'place of supply' of the service to you, which is in the UK. However it may be possible for you to claim for a refund of this VAT from the relevant authority. We cannot do this for you, and as the rules are complicated it is best that you take advice from the relevant authorities. Below are some contact details, information, forms and links to help you.
