VAT registration - Registering for VAT

What does the dns accountants VAT registration and returns service offer?

To the uninitiated VAT may appear a complex tax system that involves a lot of administration and often it can be. dns accountants offer a cost effective VAT registration and returns service to assist businesses with making the right decision as to whether to register for VAT; completing the VAT registration process, and then filing accurate VAT returns on time. Before you make any VAT decisions, it’s best to talk to a dns accountants tax advisor about the advantages and disadvantages of becoming VAT registered.

Why register for VAT?

Deciding whether to register for VAT can be a key decision particularly for business start-ups. Businesses can register voluntarily, but whether it is advantageous to register is a crucial management decision. Businesses must register within 30 days if turnover exceeds £90,000 in the previous 12 months, similarly if turnover is expected to exceed £90,000 in the following 30 days, the business must notify HMRC within 30 days of the date the threshold is expected to be exceeded.

Advantages VAT registration

It may be advantageous to register for VAT voluntarily to take advantage of things such as repayments of VAT because when you’re registered you can charge VAT on business taxable supplies and goods (output tax) and you can reclaim VAT on your business purchases (input tax). If more input tax has been paid than output tax, HMRC will refund the difference. This can be useful at the start of a business when most business purchases are made.

Being VAT registered may also offer your business more credibility, and if your supplies are zero rated, you can still reclaim VAT on the business purchases, resulting in a refund from HMRC.

Disadvantages VAT registration

BUT this must be weighed up against the increased workload because once VAT is registered, your business must account for output tax on all taxable supplies, keep proper VAT records and accounts, and send in VAT returns when requested to do so by HMRC.
