Controversial influencer Andrew, who is currently in Romania, is accused of ten charges in total.
This includes rape, actual bodily harm, human trafficking and controlling prostitution for gain against three women.
His brother Tristan, 36, is charged with 11 offences against one alleged victim - including rape, actual bodily harm and human trafficking.
The brothers are facing a string of alleged sex crimes in Romania, which prosecutors say must be settled first.
Andrew Ford, the pair's legal representative, confirmed in a statement that once proceedings in Romania are over they will address the ones in Britain.
Ford told Sky News: "The Tates will return to face UK allegations".
Lawyer Matt Jury, representing the alleged victims, said: 'We welcome the clarity from the Crown Prosecution Service that our authorities are working to ensure the Tates face justice here in the UK – they cannot be allowed to escape extradition."
Tate is also being sued by four other women, after the CPS decided not to prosecute in 2019.
It comes after the brothers flew to the US in February after they were freed from house arrest in Romania.
While in the States, the Tate brothers did a tour of popular podcasts and rubbed shoulders with some of Los Angeles biggest influencers.
Andrew and Tristan returned to Bucharest shortly after while investigations continue into their alleged sex crimes.
Both have continued to maintain their innocence over those allegations.
Ex-kickboxer Andrew moved to Romania years ago after first starting a webcam business in the UK.
The self-proclaimed misogynist also appeared on Big Brother but was famously booted off the show.

Labour minister Liz Kendall announces review of state pension age
Work and pensions secretary Liz Kendall has announced a review of the state pension age. It comes in a major speech where the senior cabinet minister warned that the cost of the triple lock guarantee on the state pension is £31bn a year. The triple lock, which was introduced by David Cameron's government in 2010, means that the state pension either rises by 2.5 per cent or the highest rate of inflation whichever is higher to keep up with the cost of living. Speaking in central London this morning where she was relaunching the Pensions Commission, Ms Kendall warned of a growing threat of pensioner poverty unless there was major reform to the system.

Dame Joanna Lumley backs assisted dying
Dame Joanna Lumley has voiced her support for assisted dying, indicating she would consider it if she were in a "miserable" state, unable to speak or be fed. The 79-year-old actor backs the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, which recently received approval from the House of Commons. This proposed legislation would allow mentally competent adults in England and Wales with a life expectancy of six months or less to apply for an assisted death. MPs passed the bill by a narrow margin of 314 to 291 votes, with notable figures such as Sir Keir Starmer and Rishi Sunak voting in favour, while others like Kemi Badenoch opposed it. The bill is now set to move to the House of Lords for further scrutiny, where it is expected to encounter additional opposition.

Protesters warn JD Vance ‘resistance will be waiting' as he prepares for Cotswolds family holiday
US vice president JD Vance will find he is 'every bit as unwelcome' in the UK as Donald Trump, protests have warned, as they announced plans to demonstrate against his visit. Vance is expected to visit the Cotswolds in South West England next month with his wife and three young children. The visit will come shortly after Donald Trump completes a five-day tour of some of his golf courses in Scotland. Trump is due to arrive on Friday, after which he will meet with Sir Keir Starmer in Aberdeen. He will then visit Trump Turnberry golf club on the west coast of Scotland before opening a new course on his Menie Estate in Aberdeenshire, on the north-east coast. The Stop Trump Coalition, made up of a group of trade unions, pro-Palestine protesters and anti-Trump demonstrators, had already announced it would be marching against the presidential visit. They have since added that Vance will also find 'resistance waiting' when he arrives in England a week later. A Stop Trump Coalition spokesperson said: 'We are meeting Trump with protests in Aberdeen and Edinburgh this month, and then in London and Windsor in September. 'JD Vance is every bit as unwelcome in the UK as Donald Trump. 'We remember how Vance cut short his ski trip in Vermont because he was so enraged by the sight of a few protesters. 'We are sure that, even in the Cotswolds, he will find the resistance waiting.' It will not be the first time protests have disrupted the vice president's holiday. Back in March, a few days after Vance was filmed feuding with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, hundreds of protesters confronted the vice president in Waitsfield, Vermont holding pro-Ukraine signs. Demonstrators called Vance a 'national disgrace' and urged him and his family to 'go ski in Russia'. The family were reportedly forced to move to an undisclosed location as a result.
