Why Register for VAT?

If your business sells or provides taxable supplies to another business or non-business customer, you must be registered to charge Value Added Tax (VAT) when your turnover exceeds the VAT threshold of £90,000 within 12 months.

If you are not VAT registered, you are not able to reclaim any VAT charges that you pay when you purchase goods or services from another VAT registered business thus could be a reason to voluntarily register prior to reaching the threshold.
