I would also be interested in the answer to this, since we are declaring all of our non-UK based resources for VAT.
(Swets handle our Science Direct subscription and so charge us the VAT on their invoice to us).

*** Apologies for cross-posting ***
Dear colleagues,
My Finance department has asked me for examples of where other universities have been able to treat certain e-resource subscriptions invoiced in non-sterling currencies from outside the UK as VAT exempt.
One example suggested to me was Serials Solutions annual subscription to Summon but I was wondering about Thomson Reuters non-CHEST/JISC invoices for example as well. And what about Elsevier?
It would be useful to know of any justifications used as well as the actual examples. But anything on this gratefully received.
Best wishes,
Tim
