Ready to register your small business for VAT in the UK? Our guide covers when you need to register, VAT thresholds, and the process to follow to stay compliant.
Not sure if you need to register for VAT, or unsure how to go about the process? Don’t worry - our VAT experts from FSB Tax Investigation Protection answer your commonly asked questions about VAT registration for small businesses.

As your business grows, you may reach the point where you need to register for VAT with HMRC (His Majesty's Revenue & Customs) once you meet the threshold. You’ll get a VAT number and will need to submit VAT returns. You can’t register for VAT if you are not in business, or if you only sell VAT-exempt goods and services.
