Hi,
I just registered as a sole trader and received a VAT number in UK. My question is: how do I obtain the EU VAT number needed to invoice clients within EU? I actually applied for the MOSS system but I just realised translation, it seems, is not covered by that system so I think I will have to deregister from that... Is there any other form of obtaining EU VAT number for translators registered in UK? In Poland, where I was originally based, you just apply for it when you register for VAT locally but here everywhere on the government website they point you to the MOSS system which is a bit misleading because, when you look into it closely, its scope if very limited. Thanks in advance for any help!

Best,
