Company Formations and Value Added Tax

Value Added Tax is a tax businesses charge when they supply their goods and services in the United Kingdom.

It is also charged on goods, and some services, that are imported from places outside the European Community and on goods coming into the UK from another EC member state.

A detailed application form must be completed and submitted - it takes around 4 weeks for the Revenue to issue a VAT number.

Clients from overseas please read our guide to obtaining a UK VAT Registration number.

Details on VAT registration and how to complete the forms are available from this website.
