[Empeg-general] Re: Ordering from The Netherlands, VAT?

It isn't really related to your company registration - you have to be registered for VAT.  This means you have to charge VAT on anything you sell (except in special cases) and you get to claim back the VAT on anything you buy.  You can be a sole trader with no company identity and still be registered for VAT.  You can also be a Ltd company and not be registered for VAT.
