Key Facts
  • January 31, 2020: United Kingdom leaves the European Union.
  • Transitional period until December 31, 2020 with further EU VAT legislation.
  • Northern Ireland receives special status in the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland.
  • After December 31, 2020, Great Britain will be treated as a third country territory; Northern Ireland will remain a Community territory.
  • Trade in goods with Great Britain is subject to customs formalities after December 31, 2020
  • VAT identification number "XI" for Northern Ireland, "GB" for United Kingdom before January 1, 2021.
  • Deliveries before January 1, 2021 can be treated as tax-free intra-Community deliveries.

On January 31, 2020, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (the “United Kingdom”) withdrew from the European Union. Following the provisions of the Agreement on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community, a transitional period followed during which, among other things, Union VAT law continued to apply to the United Kingdom. This transition period will end at the close of December 31, 2020.

In principle, the United Kingdom, i.e. Great Britain and Northern Ireland, is therefore to be regarded as a third country territory within the meaning of Section 1 (1) for VAT purposes after December 31, 2020. 2a sentence 3 UStG. An exception applies to Northern Ireland, for which a special status was agreed in the “Protocol on Ireland / Northern Ireland” to the Withdrawal Agreement.

As a result, a distinction must be made between Great Britain and Northern Ireland with regard to the turnover taxation of trade in goods with the United Kingdom. While Great Britain is to be treated as a third-country territory in this respect as well, Northern Ireland will continue to be treated as belonging to the Community territory for the purpose of turnover taxation of trade in goods after December 31, 2020. Within the United Kingdom, its authorities are responsible for the application and implementation of the Union VAT legislation which continues to apply to Northern Ireland. For Northern Ireland VAT identification numbers, the prefix “XI” applies. Corresponding VAT identification numbers are deemed to have been issued by another Member State.

In summary, sales executed after December 31, 2020 are subject to any transitional arrangements:

– in trade in goods and services with Great Britain and in trade in services with Northern Ireland, the VAT regulations applicable to the third country territory or
– in trade in goods with Northern Ireland, the VAT regulations applicable to intra-Community trade
.

After December 31, 2020, trade in goods with the United Kingdom will be subject to customs formalities. As a result, the goods must be presented and declared for the relevant customs procedure upon both import and export and are subject to import duties (including customs duty and import VAT). The movement of goods between the European Union and Northern Ireland is not affected.

Accordingly, a VAT identification number for traders resident in the United Kingdom (country prefix “GB”) must be used for supplies beginning before January 1, 2021. The supply of an item where the transport or dispatch to the customer begins in the domestic territory before January 1, 2021, shall be treated as a tax-exempt intra-Community supply if the other conditions are met. This includes the keeping of the book and voucher evidence according to § 6a para. 3 sentence 1 UStG in conjunction with § 17a ff. UStDV as well as the indication of the delivery in the recapitulative statement according to § 18a UStG. If the entrepreneur proves that the item has left the territory of the European Union after 31 December 2020, the supply is to be treated as a tax-free export if the other requirements are met, provided that the entrepreneur submits the relevant evidence (Section 6 (4) sentence 1 UStG in conjunction with Section 8 et seq. UStDV).

If a transport or dispatch of an item that began in the UK before January 1, 2021 ends in the UK after December 31, 2020, it is an intra-Community acquisition if the other requirements are met (Section 1a UStG). For reasons of simplification, turnover taxation of the acquisition is waived if the entrepreneur proves that the transaction was subject to import turnover tax after December 31, 2020.
