HMRC is a separate track from Companies House. Register once taxable turnover reaches the current threshold, or earlier if you choose. Making Tax Digital generally requires compatible software and digital links for VAT records and returns.
VAT work we coordinate
Registration timing
Mandatory registration when taxable turnover reaches the live HMRC threshold, or voluntary registration earlier if it helps input recovery or customer contracts.
Making Tax Digital
Compatible software and digital links for VAT records and returns. Spreadsheet-only processes often fail an MTD check.
Return calendar
Usually quarterly; some businesses are monthly or on the annual scheme. Payment dates sit beside the return.
Place of supply
India–UK services, reverse charge, and export treatments need a facts check before the first invoice, not after a customer asks for a VAT number.
