Change your country and all other details to a country outside of EU and you don't have to pay VAT.

If you're asking because you want to avoid paying VAT in a legal way, seek actual advice from an accountant/solicitor, rather than from some randomers on the internet.
If you're asking because you want to avoid paying VAT in a shady way, I'd probably recommend against it. . .

It might be beneficial for you to register for VAT. That way, you can claim back VAT that you pay for goods or services. You would then have to charge your customers VAT where applicable - but if your business model means you don't have customers then you might be in a win-win position.
That seems quite simplistic, so seems too good to be true - I would definitely look into it further before taking my advice.
