VAT Returns FAQs

When does my business need to register for VAT?

UK-established businesses generally need to register if taxable turnover exceeds £90,000 over the previous rolling 12 months, or is expected to exceed £90,000 in the next 30 days alone. Different rules apply to businesses based overseas. Voluntary registration may be possible. Check HMRC’s VAT registration guidance.

How often do I need to file VAT returns?

Most businesses file VAT returns quarterly, but some may qualify for annual or monthly submissions.

What is Making Tax Digital (MTD) for VAT?

Unless exempt, VAT-registered businesses must keep the required digital records and submit returns using MTD-compatible software. We can help with software such as Xero, record-keeping and submission checks; using software alone does not establish compliance.

Can I reclaim VAT on business expenses?

If you are VAT-registered, you may be able to recover VAT on eligible business purchases, subject to your VAT scheme, business use, supporting evidence and any recovery restrictions. Not every VAT charge is recoverable.
