If you are in business and your taxable turnover reaches, or is likely to reach the registration threshold, you must register for VAT, or in special circumstances apply to Customs & Excise for exemption from registration.

Following registration you will need to complete a VAT return online, usually each quarter although there are special circumstances resulting in monthly or annual returns.

 

We can assist you with matters pertaining to registration, completion of the VAT returns and any other VAT issues arising.
