VAT Registration Service
We will prepare and submit your UK VAT registration application to HMRC, and send you confirmation of your VAT Registration Number by email once your application has been successful. HMRC will supply the Certificate of VAT Registration by post.
VAT is charged on most of goods and services provided by VAT-registered businesses in the UK, who are able to reclaim VAT paid on the goods and services they buy.
Any company that is trading can register for VAT, even if their turnover is less than the VAT threshold of £90,000. Most companies register for VAT on a voluntary basis as this provides the perception of being established with a large turnover.
The cost of our VAT Registration Service is £39.99 +VAT.

Frequently asked questions
A limited company is required to register for VAT when its taxable turnover for the previous 12 months exceeds the £90,000 VAT registration threshold or is expected to exceed the VAT threshold in the next 30 days.
Yes. As long as your company is not listed as dormant, it can voluntarily register for VAT. There are numerous benefits of being VAT registered. For example, most companies register for VAT voluntarily, as VAT-registered companies are perceived to be larger than ones who are not.
VAT-registered companies are also able to reclaim VAT paid on goods and services they buy, saving them money in tax payments.
It usually takes around 30 - 40 days for your company to be registered for VAT, although this timescale can vary significantly due to HMRC’s workload.
HMRC will post your Certificate of VAT Registration and VAT Registration Number to your principal place of business shortly thereafter.
If you are a UK resident director, you will need to provide your National Insurance number. If you are non-UK resident director, you will need to provide one piece of photographic ID (either a passport or driving licence) and two pieces of secondary evidence from the following list:
- Birth certificate
- Marriage certificate
- Utility bill dated within the last 3 months
Your principal place of business address is the address your company does the majority of its work from. It must be based in the UK and it cannot be listed our address, as your company will not carry out the majority of its work from our address.
