Taxable turnover includes the total value of what you sell that is not VAT exempt or out of scope. It includes zero‑rated, reduced‑rated and standard‑rated goods/services.
You can register for VAT online via HMRC’s service. You’ll need business details such as company registration number, bank account, turnover estimate, etc.
Once registered, you receive a unique VAT registration number which you must put on invoices you raise. It also allows you to reclaim VAT on goods and services you bought for your business.
Yes, if your business is VAT‑registered and the purchases relate to your taxable supplies, you can reclaim VAT on eligible purchases. Ensure proper records and invoices.
If your business crosses the turnover threshold and you fail to register within required timeframe, you may owe VAT from the effective registration date and face penalties.
Yes, if your taxable turnover falls below the deregistration threshold you may apply to deregister. You must stop charging VAT and adjust your records accordingly.
