Frequently Asked Questions
What is VAT Registration?
VAT (Value Added Tax) registration is the process of enrolling your business with HMRC to charge and pay VAT on goods and services. Once registered, your business becomes responsible for collecting VAT from customers and submitting it to HMRC. If you're unsure about any part of the process, speak to an expert who can guide you step-by-step.
Do I Need to Register for VAT?
You must register for VAT if your business's taxable turnover exceeds the current threshold (£90,000 as of 2024). However, even if your turnover is below the threshold, voluntary VAT registration can be beneficial if you want to reclaim VAT on purchases or enhance your business's credibility. To assess your eligibility, speak to an expert.
What Are the Benefits of Voluntary VAT Registration?
Voluntary VAT registration allows you to reclaim VAT on business expenses, which can reduce costs. It also signals professionalism and financial stability to clients, potentially attracting larger contracts. Additionally, it prepares your business for future growth and compliance. To explore these benefits, speak to an expert.
