disclosed commission agent selling goods for export to EU from UK- VAT to principal?

[Trademan4]

Hello all.

Im a UK based commission agent.
I'm providing sales disclosed agency work to a UK principal in the export of products to Belgium.

As its intra EU export , there is no VAT on the sale by the principal to Belgium , as I udnerstand.

QUESTION: do I have to charge my principal VAT on my selling services , as my company and his company are both in the UK?

(The Belgian buyer collected the goods in England and took them to Belgium)

Many thanks
Tim

Hi
Many thanks for your reply.

I thought my supplies would be zero rated as they related to an agency deal ( sale) of product that was zero rated.- ie from an English company exporting to a Belgian company.

I know that travel agents dont charge vat when they are selling a zero rated product , so thought my case would be similar?

Are you an accountant / tax adviser?
Does anyone think differently?
Kind regards
Tim
