VAT Registration and De-Registration London

When Should You Register for VAT?

If your business turnover exceeds HMRC’s VAT threshold, or if you expect to surpass it in the next 30 days, you are required to register for VAT. Registration is also mandatory if you import goods from the EU or engage in activities subject to VAT.

Businesses below the threshold can choose voluntary VAT registration, which allows VAT recovery on business expenses and may increase credibility.

After registering, you must charge VAT on sales, pay VAT to HMRC, submit quarterly VAT returns, and maintain compliant VAT records per Making Tax Digital (MTD) requirements.

VAT De-Registration

Businesses do not need to remain VAT-registered forever. If your circumstances change, you may need to de-register, either because it’s required or voluntary.

  • Typical reasons for VAT de-registration are:
  • Your taxable turnover falls below the de-registration threshold (except for non-UK businesses selling to the UK).
  • Joining a VAT group.
  • Ceasing to trade or making no further VAT-taxable supplies.
  • Business structure changes that make VAT registration unnecessary.

Notify HMRC promptly when you’re eligible to de-register to stay compliant and avoid penalties. Until HMRC confirms your de-registration, you are still required to file VAT returns.

How The Infinity Group Supports You

We offer comprehensive VAT services, handling every step from registration to de-registration, with prompt and full compliance to HMRC regulations.

When it comes to registration, we first determine if it’s necessary by evaluating your turnover, plans, and activities. If so, we manage the registration process for you. We also assist in selecting the most appropriate VAT scheme for your business—including the Standard, Flat Rate, and Cash Accounting Schemes.

During de-registration, we ensure all details are correctly submitted to HMRC, final VAT returns are filed, and records are updated before closure.

Other VAT Services Considerations

When managing VAT, consider the following:

  • Reverse Charge Mechanism: For specific cross-border transactions, VAT responsibility shifts from the supplier to the customer (e.g., acquiring overseas services).
  • Domestic Reverse Charge: In certain construction services, the customer, not the supplier, is responsible for VAT.
  • Zero-Rated and Reduced-Rated Goods: Some products and services have varying VAT rates, so it’s essential to apply the correct rate.
  • Non-Established Taxable Persons (NETPs): Foreign businesses supplying taxable goods or services in the UK must adhere to VAT registration rules.
  • Private Schools: Education sector VAT rules differ between taxable and exempt supplies and need careful handling.
