VAT Registration Threshold & Historic Exceedance Checker
Review your monthly taxable turnover to determine whether your business exceeded the statutory UK VAT registration threshold in any 12-month rolling period, and estimate your required effective date of VAT registration.
⚠️ Important Note: This tool evaluates the rolling 12-month retrospective test for statutory UK VAT registration. It does not replace professional advice and does not assess the separate forward-looking 30-day expectation rule.
