Should I register for VAT?

Becoming VAT registered can be a little daunting for those new to business. It means keeping your accounts records organised and and up to date and ensuring that you have VAT receipts for all the business expenses you want to claim back VAT on. It also means that you need to know whether the products or services you sell should have VAT added.

VAT deferment period is finished

During the current crisis HMRC has allowed VAT registered businesses to defer paying their VAT liability for the period between 20 March and 30 June 2020. This deferment applied to VAT periods ending 29 February, 31 March and 30 April where payments would be due by 7 April, 7 May and 7 June.
 
 That deferment period is now finished
