You must register your business for VAT with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) if your VAT taxable turnover is more than £85,000 (subject to change by HMRC guidelines).

When you register, you’ll be sent a VAT registration certificate. This confirms:

• your VAT number
• when to submit your first VAT Return and payment
• your ‘effective date of registration’ - this depends on the date you went over the threshold, or is the date you asked to register if it was voluntary
