I just think most people don't do it, but that doesn't mean it's not technically required.
Whether or not you are applicable for VAT depends on how the regulations in the US are and whether or not you are incorporated (Limited Liability Company) or just a sole trader (or similar). I don't think alot of webmasters in the US operating from their desk at home are incorporated.

I'm just wondering why you talked to UK tax consultants about this. May I ask why, out of curiosity?
