Online VAT registration
February 15th, 2010
Because of changes to the VAT registration process, it is now probably just as quick for companies to register for VAT the old-fashioned, paper-based way than online. This is because the Certificate of Incorporation needs to be included and it cannot be done over the internet. By the time the taxman gets around to processing your online application and then requesting your Certificate of Incorporation, you may have lost valuable time and money waiting.
Partnerships must submit a paper Form VAT2 as there is no online facility yet for this form. At the moment, sole traders are probably the only group who can save time with online registration.
