Does anyone know if the way freelancers invoice the EU will change under the new deal? I have been trying to find out whether we will be able to continue invoicing without paying tax in EU countries, but I can't find anything about it... The HMRC website is of little help as usual! Thanks in advance.

As usual, useless gov't exhorts us to get ready but then offers no information.

GENERAL PRINCIPLES:

If you are a registered taxpayer in the UK (only) you pay your taxes to the UK Government.
If you are ALSO a registered taxpayer in an EU country, then you are liable to also pay tax in that country.

I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION

Will I still be able to continue receiving payments from EU banks into my UK bank?

So, for example, no VAT (for B2B transactions at least).

And yes, Tom, of course you will still be able to receive bank payments. We have left the EU, not the planet.

You probably already have proof of the pudding by now, Tom, but I did think of you when checking the bank account this morning and seeing that transfers from three EU/EEA countries have come in as normal this month.

Brexit is certainly causing problems in some areas, but the wheels of finance keep turning...
