About this service
About VAT Returns
When will your business need to pay VAT?
Most of the products sold by VAT-registered businesses will have VAT (Value Added Tax) added to them. Businesses must register for VAT when they have a VAT taxable turnover of more than £90,000, but you can also choose to register for VAT if your turnover is less than the threshold.
You can only submit your VAT return using accounting software that is compatible with Making Tax Digital.
