International trade number for UK businesses?

I just opened my own Ltd, company a few weeks ago and my main client is in Spain. I have my UTR, however, my client is now saying that this is not enough for them to invoice me. They need an international trade or VAT number.

I asked the guys from the HRM & C helplines, but they were not very helpful. Turnover wise, I do not need to register for VAT in the UK, and if I register voluntarily, I understood that I will need to pay the VAT nevertheless.

Does anyone have experience with this? I feel really uncomfortable losing 20% of my income because of an European client needing a VAT number that is not required here in the UK.

    This has been asked on here many times. You do not need to register for Vat as it's more trouble than its worth. Ask them to accept your unique tax reference number, they just need to know that you are a legit business.

    You do not have to pay VAT unless your turnover is 70k so if you do register you will not be paying 20% as you are under the limit., you will just have to fill in quarterly VAT returns.

    This question is why it is so important to have an Accountant, they can advise you.
