UK VAT & EORI Support from Pakistan
Free Unicorn helps Pakistani founders prepare UK VAT and EORI applications where their trading and customs activities require them. VAT concerns taxable supplies and reporting; an EORI identifies a business for relevant customs procedures. They serve different purposes, and forming a UK LTD does not automatically mean both are required or approved. Share your establishment, customers, stock locations and import plans so the appropriate route and ongoing duties can be reviewed before a quote is agreed.
Service overview
VAT and EORI have different purposes
For VAT, prepare business activity, taxable turnover, establishment facts, contracts or invoices and any requested banking evidence. Non-established businesses can face different registration rules, so do not rely on the ordinary UK turnover threshold without checking your circumstances. For EORI, identify who will import or export, the countries involved and the relevant GB or other customs requirements. A number does not replace customs declarations, import taxes or product compliance.
