Frequently Asked Questions
More on vat, answered
When must I register for VAT?
If you are UK-established: when your VAT taxable turnover in the previous 12 months exceeds £90,000 (checked at the end of each month), or when you expect to exceed it in the next 30 days alone. Registration deadlines and effective dates differ between those two tests, and exceptions apply — including for businesses not established in the UK. We can check which test applies and when you have to register.
Read the answerDo I need to register for Making Tax Digital for Income Tax?
It depends on your qualifying income in the reference tax year: over £50,000 in 2024/25 brought you in from 6 April 2026, over £30,000 in 2025/26 from 6 April 2027, and over £20,000 in 2026/27 from 6 April 2028. Qualifying income is combined gross self-employment and property income before expenses, and exemptions and exclusions apply. Our MTD checker gives an indication from the answers you give; we confirm it against your full circumstances.

Paul and all the team at CASS are extremely knowledgeable and supportive with no question being any trouble to them. They've really helped us to structure our business and lay down great foundations for growth and have also given us so much time back to be able to concentrate on what we do best as they are the best at what they do. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely fantastic service from the team at CASS, (especially Paul). Not only did they support us with our book-keeping/accounting and EPOS system, but they genuinely went above and beyond — even helping us out of hours and on a Sunday to get everything set up properly. Nothing was too much trouble, and their support has been a massive part of getting our pet shop up and running smoothly from day one. We couldn’t be happier with the service we’ve received and honestly couldn’t have done it without them. Thanks again Paul and the team at CASS — truly appreciated! X
