VAT Registration Requirements in the UK

You must register for VAT in the UK if your business:

  • Has over £90,000 in VAT taxable sales the last 12 months
  • Is expected to surpass the VAT threshold of £90,000 in the next 30 days

Registering below the £90,000 UK VAT threshold is optional. However, voluntary VAT registration allows you to:

  • Reclaim VAT paid on business purchases
  • Issue VAT invoices to customers
  • Potentially appear larger to suppliers and customers
