When Should You Register for VAT?


VAT registration becomes mandatory when your business’s taxable turnover exceeds £85,000 in a rolling 12-month period. However, many businesses choose to register for VAT online before reaching this threshold due to the benefits it provides.

Mandatory Registration Scenarios:

  • Your annual taxable turnover exceeds £85,000.
  • Your business is based outside the UK, selling goods to UK customers.
  • You expect to surpass the VAT threshold within the next 30 days.

Voluntary Registration: Registering voluntarily can enhance your business’s credibility, as being VAT-registered often gives the impression of a larger, well-established UK company. Additionally, it allows businesses to reclaim VAT on business-related purchases, improving cash flow and reducing overall expenses.

Simplified VAT Accounting Schemes

At Affotax, we help businesses choose the best VAT accounting scheme to suit their needs, such as:

  • Flat Rate Scheme: Designed for businesses with a turnover of less than £150,000, this scheme allows you to pay a fixed rate of VAT, simplifying the process.
  • Annual Accounting Scheme: Businesses with a turnover of up to £1.35 million can opt to make advance VAT payments and submit only one VAT return per year, easing the administrative burden.


Why Register Voluntarily?

For businesses not yet reaching the VAT threshold, voluntary registration can be a strategic move. It allows you to:

  • Enhance Business Perception: VAT registration portrays your business as more established and professional.
  • Claim VAT on Purchases: Reclaim VAT on goods and services purchased for business purposes, potentially reducing overall costs.
  • Expand Opportunities: Many large organisations prefer to work with VAT-registered businesses, increasing your chances of securing bigger contracts.
