What is VAT?
Value Added Tax (VAT) is a form of tax added to the sale of goods and services. VAT is a tax a customer pays when they buy goods and services in the European Union, including in the UK.
Is it mandatory to register my company for VAT?
Whether you have a
virtual office
or a brick-and-mortar company, registering for VAT registration is not mandatory unless your turnover has exceeded £90,000 in the previous 12 months or is expected to reach this amount in the future.
Can a company register for VAT voluntarily?
Yes, there is no lower turnover limit for VAT registration. Some businesses choose to register for VAT for its various advantages, including improved credibility.
What is the VAT flat-rate scheme?
The VAT flat-rate scheme allows a company to keep a percentage of the VAT charged but not reclaim any VAT on purchases. It is designed to simplify VAT returns for smaller businesses. A company can apply to join the flat-rate scheme if its turnover is predicted to be less than £150,000 in the first 12 months, and the business does not have to leave the scheme until its turnover (including VAT) reaches £230,000.
New rules introduced in April 2017 mean that a new flat rate of 16.5% applies to common service companies, which can effectively nullify the financial gain. You should seek advice as to whether the scheme would be beneficial for your company.
How do I register for VAT?

I am not based in UK and so not aware of any regulations. Catherine helped me understand about the yearly filing and helped me in a high professional manner. Since then, I formed other two companies with them and will strongly recommend them to you.
