Hello everyone

I am a self employed translator based in the UK. One of my clients is based in Spain and they are asking me for my "número intracomunitario". I am not sure exactly what that is in the UK (where I pay my taxes). All I have is my Unique Tax Number, and apparently that is not the number. I had phone HMRC but they are not sure what it is.

Hello everyone

I am a self employed translator based in the UK. One of my clients is based in Spain and they are asking me for my "número intracomunitario". I am not sure exactly what that is in the UK (where I pay my taxes). All I have is my Unique Tax Number, and apparently that is not the number. I had phone HMRC but they are not sure what it is. It is all link with Intrastat. Basically the Spanish company needs a number (normally GB plus a 9 or 12 digits number) that identifies me as a EU company. They also told me that once you get that number you need to be register in the Censo de Operadores Intracomunitarios.

All I can think of is that this would be the VAT number in the UK with the GB at the start. But I see to charge VAT you need to exceed 70,000GBP per year, a figure that I do not reach. I wouldn´t like to register for VAT and then find out that is not the actual number.

Has anyone been involved in this situation before?

Many thanks for your help.

Kind regards

VAT Number Sep 14, 2010

Hi Julio,

It is your VAT number they are asking for. I (and many others if you search the forums) have had the same problem with agencies in Spain. I'm not registered for VAT in the UK and the way I eventually got round it is by adding a note on my invoices stating that under British Law I don't need to apply VAT.

Hope this helps,

Susan.
