VAT
From 1 January 2010 HMRC implemented changes to the way VAT is to be collected and charged, specifically in relation to VAT treatment of cross-border services.  VAT is now payable on the added-value UK customer management element of all Education UK Exhibitions taking place outside of the EU. In order that VAT be apportioned it will now be necessary to separate the UK management element out accordingly.

The exhibition invoice will display two lines:  

1. The first line will detail the overseas costs of the exhibition (venue hire, equipment hire, local promotion, local staff costs etc.) and will not be VAT-able.
2. The second line will detail the UK costs of the exhibition (recruitment, administration, UK promotion etc.) and will be VAT-able.

This cost for UK management has always been in place, the only difference being that prior to these changes it was included as part of the holistic pricing model for each exhibition.  

Please see the HM Revenue and Customs website for further details.
