Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what (a) discussions he has had with and (b) guidance he has provided to (i) micro and (ii) other small businesses providing digital services in the EU27 on transferring from the VAT Mini One Stop Shop system to the third country VAT MOSS system in the event that the UK leaves the EU.

The UK VAT Mini One Stop Shop (MOSS) will no longer be available to UK businesses if the UK leaves the EU without a deal. UK businesses cannot be transferred to the EU’s ‘Non-Union’ scheme automatically but the Government has written to all current users of UK VAT MOSS advising them of their options if the UK leaves the EU without a deal. This information was also included as part of the EU Exit guidance to businesses published on gov.uk. If the UK leaves with a deal then we will enter an implementation period. During the implementation period, businesses can continue to use the UK VAT MOSS system as they do currently.
