VAT registration

Registration for VAT can either be compulsory or voluntary.

In any case, you are able to claim back the VAT which you are charged on, for example telephones, instruments, etc. that are used in your business. However, this then means you also have to charge VAT on your fee for every gig and handle the considerable amount of bookkeeping involved.

Whilst VAT registration can be voluntary, you are obliged to register in the following circumstances:

1. If the value of your UK taxable supplies in the past twelve months has exceeded the annual threshold of £83,000.
2. At any time if there are reasonable grounds for believing that the value of your UK taxable supplies in the next 30 days will exceed the annual threshold.

Please remember that HMRC will levy penalties for failure to register and for the late submission of Returns.
