VAT from Ebay ?

[semprini27]

Hi all - I place advertising for some of my clients (motor dealers) on Ebay Motrs Pro. For some I also run Google Adword campaigns. Both of these produce invoices from outside the UK - Ebay from Luxembourg, Google from Ireland.

The invoices do not contain VAT but include statements that it is my responsibility to account for VAt according to my countrys' VAT laws.

So when I recharge my clients do I add VAT at 17.5% to what I have paid for the services e.g. I pay £1000, do I now charge £1000 +VAT at 17.5% i.e. £1175 ? Even though I haven't paid any VAT ?

I provide consultancy services and re-sell software and on-line services to the motor trade.

I am UK based and UK VAT registered.

My t/o will be over the threshold.

Okay, to clarify :-

- I am UK based and UK VAT registered.
- my client is UK based and UK VAT registered.
- my suppliers are overseas and VAT registered in the relevant country (Luxembourg and Ireland)
- the suppliers' invoices to me do not contain VAT, although they do quote their VAT numbers for the countries they are based in.

SO, as my client is UK based (as am I) then I am duty bound to charge VAT, even if there is none on the invoices I have received from my suppliers ?
