If your turnover is below this threshold, they you may wish to voluntarily register for VAT as there are a number of benefits.
Being VAT registered means must charge VAT on your products and services, however some may be exempt. You can also claim VAT back on your purchases.
The VAT flat rate scheme is worth considering if your turnover is expected to be below £150K. This gives you a fixed VAT rate, depending on your industry. If you company has low expenditure, then this can be very beneficial.
Benefits of VAT include the ability to reclaim VAT on any purchase (especially good if you are a start-up with lots of new equipment) and appearing more professional. If your company is not VAT registered, others who trade with you will know that your turnover is under £79,000.
However, you are required to submit monthly, quarterly or annual VAT returns once registered and keep accurate records of all purchases and sales.
If you do not register for VAT but are required to, you may receive a penalty and will have to pay the VAT from when you were meant to register.
You can register for VAT on the HM Revenue and Customs website by downloading a VAT registration form; however this and the completion of VAT returns can be complex and time consuming. Wisteria offers a VAT registration service, if you don’t wish to do this yourself. We can submit your VAT application as well as providing on-going professional VAT advice.
