Why should I register for VAT?

It's a UK statutory requirement

  • It is a UK statutory requirement if your company's taxable turnover is more than £85,000. This means that it is your responsibility to ensure that when you do exceed the threshold, you register for VAT.
  • You may need to add VAT to your sales invoices.
  • You can claim back any VAT on most costs to your company.
  • You can register voluntarily if your VAT taxable turnover is less than £85,000, unless everything you sell is exempt.
