ebay business account UK
 

Hi
Im looking to open a new ebay business account. I have got the following New Details:

Name
Address
IP Address
Bank Account

But will they ask for company registation or Vat Number? For paypal?

thanks

If you are registering as a limited company they will want the number. VAT number is not relevant

You can be a registered business without having a company or vat number.

As Granny says, you only get a company number if you say you're a ltd company. Sole traders or partnerships do not have a company number. As vat registration is based on turnover then not all businesses have to be vat registered either.

This post is very useful.

Please can someone let me know if you were to use a ltd company no, or vat number to exempt from vat which had previously been used for an account on which selling was indefinitely suspended would this flag up?

thanks

Yes


.......

thanks for that.

So I cannot claim to be vat exempt anymore

does anyone know how this will affect being a vat registered business

will I just pay it and not be able to claim it back?

GTran is on top of this one.

@richardb123 - that is correct. You cannot claim VAT back that has been paid in Luxemburg, all you can do is claim exemption but in order to do that you need to provide a valid VAT number. Be advised they WILL check if the number is valid and issued and they WILL advise UK C&E that exemption has been claimed

Don't even think about it!!
