A service invoiced to a business client in the UK or the US is therefore generally outside Spanish VAT, so Spanish VAT is not charged on that invoice.<\/p><p>For a business client in another EU country, the client is the taxable person and accounts for the VAT itself, under the reverse-charge mechanism. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boe.es\/buscar\/act.php?id=BOE-A-2012-14696\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"dofollow noopener\">Article 6.1.m of the invoicing regulation (Real Decreto 1619\/2012)<\/a> requires the invoice to carry the words \u00abinversi\u00f3n del sujeto pasivo\u00bb when the customer is the taxable person.

People who were already in a cross-border situation between the UK and an EU Member State at the end of the transition period can remain covered under <a href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/legal-content\/EN\/TXT\/HTML\/?uri=CELEX:12020W\/TXT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">article 30 of the Withdrawal Agreement<\/a> for as long as that situation continues without interruption.<\/p><p>Whether your US or UK periods count towards a future pension, and whether you need a certificate of coverage, depends on your history and dates.
