If your business turnover exceeds HMRC’s VAT threshold, or if you expect to surpass it in the next 30 days, you are required to register for VAT. Registration is also mandatory if you import goods from the EU or engage in activities subject to VAT.
Businesses below the threshold can choose voluntary VAT registration, which allows VAT recovery on business expenses and may increase credibility.
After registering, you must charge VAT on sales, pay VAT to HMRC, submit quarterly VAT returns, and maintain compliant VAT records per Making Tax Digital (MTD) requirements.
Businesses do not need to remain VAT-registered forever. If your circumstances change, you may need to de-register, either because it’s required or voluntary.
Notify HMRC promptly when you’re eligible to de-register to stay compliant and avoid penalties. Until HMRC confirms your de-registration, you are still required to file VAT returns.
We offer comprehensive VAT services, handling every step from registration to de-registration, with prompt and full compliance to HMRC regulations.
When it comes to registration, we first determine if it’s necessary by evaluating your turnover, plans, and activities. If so, we manage the registration process for you. We also assist in selecting the most appropriate VAT scheme for your business—including the Standard, Flat Rate, and Cash Accounting Schemes.
During de-registration, we ensure all details are correctly submitted to HMRC, final VAT returns are filed, and records are updated before closure.
When managing VAT, consider the following:
Our VAT registration and de-registration services benefit businesses at various stages:
