Value Added Tax (VAT) is a tax that is charged on most goods and services sold in the UK. Businesses must register for VAT if their taxable turnover is more than £85,000 per year. However, businesses can also choose to register voluntarily if their turnover is lower than this.
There are a number of benefits to registering for VAT, including:
- You can reclaim the VAT that you pay on your business expenses.
- You can charge VAT to your customers, which can help to increase your revenue.
- You will be seen as a more established and credible business.
If you are thinking about registering your company for VAT, there are a few things that you need to do:
- Check if you need to register. You can use the HMRC VAT registration checker to see if you need to register for VAT.
- Gather the necessary information. You will need to provide HMRC with a number of details, including your company name, registration number, and bank account details.
- Start charging VAT to your customers. Once you have registered for VAT, you must start charging VAT to your customers on all taxable goods and services.
- File VAT returns. You will need to file VAT returns to HMRC on a regular basis (usually every three months).
