Customer in EC that are NOT VAT registered: Charge VAT 3. Customer in EC (but not UK) that are VAT registered: do not Charge VAT 4. Customer outside the EC do not Charge VAT Re 3 above, the company buying the goods must supply their VAT number, the seller then has to quote it on the Invoice. The seller also has to complete an EC Sales list every quarter, giving the VAT numbers and amounts of all sales falling into this category.
