Frequently Asked Questions

What Is VAT Registration, and Who Needs to Register for VAT?

VAT registration is the process of formally registering your business with HM Revenue and Customs for Value Added Tax (VAT). Businesses whose taxable turnover exceeds the VAT registration threshold set by HMRC are legally required to register. Some businesses may also choose to register voluntarily, depending on their circumstances.

How Often Do I Need to Submit VAT Returns?

Most businesses are required to submit VAT returns quarterly. However, some businesses may be eligible to submit annual VAT returns, depending on their turnover and the VAT scheme they are registered under. The submission frequency will be determined by your specific VAT arrangement and business circumstances.
