How to Avoid VAT on a UK-Based eBay Account: Can Changing the Address to Portugal Help?

[bigpanfish]

My client's eBay account is UK-based and we have to bear the VAT on each order on eBay and because of this we're unable to make profits, how can we avoid VAT?
Can we save the VAT by changing the Account address (UK to Portugal)

Changing the account address to avoid VAT is not a legal solution; consult a tax professional for legitimate options.

Changing your account address won't help you avoid VAT on UK-based eBay orders.

To avoid the VAT you need to register your company in Gibraltar or any other virgin island

@bigpanfish Changing the account address won't eliminate VAT obligations. To address this, consult with a tax professional to explore potential solutions or consider the impact on your business model.

Changing your eBay account address to Portugal won't avoid UK VAT. To potentially reduce VAT impact, consult with a tax professional, explore legitimate business structures, and ensure compliance with relevant tax laws.
