Common questions

Should I register voluntarily?

It can make sense if most of your customers are VAT-registered businesses, or if you buy a lot of VAT-able goods, because you can reclaim the VAT you pay. If you mainly sell to the public, it usually doesn’t. We’ll run the numbers for you.

I’m close to the threshold. What should I do?

Talk to us early. The threshold is measured over any rolling 12 months, not just your financial year, and registering late can mean paying VAT you never charged.

Do I need accounting software?

Not necessarily. Your VAT records need to be digital, but a spreadsheet is enough. We submit your returns to HMRC using our own software, so there’s no new system for you to learn.
