Do I need to register for VAT?
You must register if your VAT taxable turnover for the last 12 months goes over £90,000, or if you expect it to go over £90,000 in the next 30 days. You can also register voluntarily below this, which can make sense if your customers are mostly VAT-registered businesses. We'll help you decide the right time to register.
VAT schemes that could save you time or money
Flat Rate Scheme: pay a fixed percentage of your turnover instead of working out VAT on each purchase. Available if your VAT turnover is £150,000 or less.
Cash Accounting Scheme: pay VAT when your customers pay you, not when you invoice. Available if your taxable turnover is £1.35 million or less.
Annual Accounting Scheme: one VAT return a year with regular instalments.
Making Tax Digital for VAT
All VAT-registered businesses must keep digital records and file VAT returns using compatible software. We'll set up the right software and make sure every return is accurate and on time.
