How to register for VAT

A business is required to register for VAT, if at the end of any month, its taxable supplies in the last year exceeds the registration threshold which is currently £82,000. VAT Registration is required earlier for businesses that expect to exceed the threshold entirely within the following 30 days.

The VAT registration is made in the name of the business-owner or “person” and not the business as such, and where there is more than one business owned, even if they are operated independently from each other, all the business activities are covered by one VAT registration.
