Frequently Asked Questions

What is the UK VAT registration threshold for 2026/27?

The UK VAT registration threshold is £90,000. You must register for VAT if your total taxable turnover in any rolling 12-month period exceeds this limit, or if you expect your turnover to exceed £90,000 in the next 30 days alone.

How do I calculate the rolling 12-month VAT threshold?

The rolling 12-month calculation is not based on your calendar year or financial year. At the end of every month, you must sum your taxable sales for the previous 12 months. If that cumulative total exceeds £90,000, you have crossed the threshold and must notify HMRC.

What happens if I cross the threshold and fail to register on time?

If you fail to register for VAT within 30 days of crossing the threshold, HMRC can levy late-registration penalties. These penalties are calculated as a percentage of the VAT you should have paid from the date you were legally required to register. You will also have to pay the backdated VAT on all taxable sales made since your registration date, even if you did not charge VAT to your customers.
