Do You Need to
Register for VAT?

Business register for VAT for one of two reasons

It’s required by law

If your business turnover is expected to exceed £85,000 in the next 12 months, VAT registration is legally required (unless your goods or services are VAT exempt).

You choose to register voluntarily

Even if your turnover is below the threshold, registering can enhance your company’s credibility and allow you to reclaim VAT on eligible costs.

How the VAT Registration Process Works

We Contact You

After your company is registered, you'll be able to request VAT registration via the Customer Portal.

We Submit Your Application

Our team will file your VAT application online with HMRC. The process typically takes up to 30 days.

Receive Your VAT Details

Once approved, you’ll receive your VAT Registration Number by email. HMRC will then send your VAT Registration Certificate by post, confirming your company’s VAT status.

What If My First Payday Is Soon?

Don’t worry. You can run your first payroll even if your PAYE number hasn’t arrived yet. Once it does, submit your return to HMRC. They typically account for the timing of your registration and won’t penalise you for delays caused by processing times.
