Do i need to charge VAT if i am invoicing a client in South Africa for consultancy work?

Hi @channing-dataled 

VAT on services is murky but, in general & if the customer is a business, this would be non-VATable.  If the customer is an individual then possibly.

Have a read through this... https://www.gov.uk/guidance/vat-how-to-work-out-your-place-of-supply-of-services

Hope this helps.
