VAT Registration

Need advice on whether to register for VAT?

You must register for VAT with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) if your business’ VAT taxable turnover is more than £85,000.

For VAT registration we can assist with:

• Advising if you need to or if it would be beneficial to register;
• Completion of the VAT registration forms and formalities;

• Advising on the best VAT schemes to use suitable to your business – some you have to notify HMRC you are using and some you don’t.

In addition, we can assist with:

• Completion of VAT Returns or training on how to complete them
• VAT planning
• Dealing with any contentious disputes that arise with Customs
• Attendance at VAT inspections.

When you register, you’ll be sent a VAT registration certificate. This confirms:

• your VAT number
• when to submit your first VAT Return and payment

• your ‘effective date of registration’ – this is the date you went over the threshold or the date you asked to register if it was voluntary
