Frequently Asked Questions

When must I register for VAT?

You must register if your taxable turnover exceeds the VAT threshold (£90,000 for 2026/27) in any 12-month period, or if you expect to exceed it in the next 30 days.

What is the Flat Rate Scheme?

FRS lets small businesses pay a fixed percentage of their VAT-inclusive turnover to HMRC instead of calculating input and output VAT. Rates vary by sector (typically 6.5%–16.5%).
