Frequently Asked Questions
VATthreshold.UK is built exclusively for businesses under and around £100,000 turnover with questions about VAT registration and the threshold: sole traders, freelancers and small businesses approaching or just past the £90,000 line, and the accountants who support them. If your turnover is well above the threshold, or your question is about something other than registration and the threshold, The VAT Line's wider range of solutions is the right place.
Anything about UK VAT registration and the threshold: whether you need to register, when and how to do it, voluntary registration, what counts towards your turnover, deregistration, and the mistakes to avoid. 2 questions a month included, each answered by a Senior VAT officer.
Our calculator isn't officially endorsed by HMRC. We built it ourselves, on exactly the same method HMRC uses to assess threshold liability: the rolling 12-month turnover test, the forward look test, and the Effective Date of Registration logic. Our specialists ran these checks every day as HMRC officers, and we've recreated the assessment so you can run it yourself, in plain English, with confidence.
