HMRC will send your VAT registration certificate and number by post to your principal place of business.
You must register for VAT if…

You are based outside the UK, selling goods to UK customers and importing them into the UK.
You may register voluntarily if…
Your turnover is below £90,000 but you want to reclaim VAT on business expenses.
You deal with overseas sales, selling goods stored in the UK to UK clients, even without a UK business establishment.
Your turnover is below £150,000 and you want to simplify accounting with the Flat Rate Scheme.
Your estimated annual turnover is £1.35 million or less and you want to use the Annual Accounting or Cash Accounting Scheme.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to get a VAT registration number?
Processing times vary. Errors or incomplete information can cause HMRC to request corrections, slowing things down. High volumes during busy periods such as the end of the tax year can also extend waiting times. Submitting an accurate and complete application is the most effective way to avoid unnecessary delays.
What information do I need to provide to register for VAT?
You'll need your full name, date of birth, National Insurance number, a valid photo ID (passport or driving licence), your UTR, bank account details, and information about your business turnover and activities. If you're a limited company, you must also provide your Company Registration Number and Corporation Tax UTR.
How do I avoid becoming VAT registered?
The only legitimate way is to keep your taxable turnover below £90,000 per year. You cannot split your business into separate entities to stay under the threshold — HMRC treats closely related businesses as a single entity, and attempting to split can result in severe fines, penalties, and in serious cases, imprisonment.
Can I register for VAT by post?
Yes, using form VAT1. However, online registration is faster. Delays can occur due to application errors, high volumes at HMRC, or additional fraud checks, which can extend processing beyond 30 working days.
Why is VAT registration complicated?
You'll need to submit significant information and documentation. If you're an overseas enterprise, you must also understand multiple countries' VAT compliance laws. Keeping up with ever-changing VAT regulations is challenging, and failing to comply can result in penalties, fines, or legal action.
