VAT Registration — £49, fixed.
Registered with HMRC properly — the right scheme chosen before the first return, not after. Delivered online to every UK town, with the fee agreed in writing before we start.
Everything the fixed fee covers
- Application prepared and submitted to HMRC, with your effective date chosen deliberately
- Scheme recommendation before you're locked in — flat rate, cash accounting or standard
- HMRC's follow-up questions handled by us until the VAT number arrives
- Making Tax Digital set up so your first return isn't a scramble
- A plain-English note on what changes: invoicing, prices, what you can now reclaim
Done in three simple steps
Message us on WhatsApp or the form with your company name or number. You get one fixed quote in writing — the price above, confirmed before anything starts.
We prepare the filing and send it for your approval. Where Companies House requires identity verification, it's a couple of minutes on your phone — we walk you through it.
Everything is submitted electronically to Companies House or HMRC, and we confirm to you the moment it's accepted — most electronic filings clear the same day.
The new Companies House identity rules
Under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act, directors and people with significant control must now verify their identity with Companies House — mandatory for new appointments since 18 November 2025, and rolling out to existing directors at their next confirmation statement. Verified individuals receive an 11-character Personal Code used on filings, alongside the company's existing 6-character authentication code. It sounds like a lot; in practice it's a few minutes on a phone, and we handle the sequencing as part of every filing we submit.

VAT Registration FAQs
When do I legally have to register?
When your taxable turnover passes £90,000 in any rolling 12-month period — not your accounting year, which is the detail that catches people. You must also register if you expect to cross it in the next 30 days alone. We'll check your position for free before you commit to anything.
Is registering voluntarily ever worth it?
Often, yes — if your customers are VAT-registered businesses, you reclaim VAT on your costs while your prices stay effectively unchanged to them. If you sell to the public, it's usually a straight price rise. That's exactly the conversation we have before filing.
How long until I get my VAT number?
HMRC can take up to 40 days, and information requests along the way are common — we answer those for you. You can trade while waiting; we'll show you how to handle invoicing in the gap so you don't lose the VAT.
Is this service really available anywhere in the UK?
Yes — the whole engagement is online, so location is irrelevant. Records travel through our secure portal or WhatsApp, approvals happen on your phone, and filings go to HMRC and Companies House electronically. Same service, same fixed fee, everywhere.
