Hi
Can any one help.
I am a small business in the UK and I design and build exhibition stands for companies that exhibit at trade shows across Europe and UK. When I supply the services to my customers the stands are always on hire. And I charge them 20% VAT
If the exhibition is Germany, I transport the stand from the UK and build the stand in the venue in Germany. Once the show is over I transport the stand back to the UK.

Does this “place of supply” rule mean that I need to register and pay VAT in every country within the EU where I’m building the exhibition stands?

This is a very confusing rule and hope to get a better understanding of what I should do.

Thanks
