amavat | Retrospective VAT Registrations
It is very important that your company registers for VAT at the correct time, in order to remove exposure to fines and interest, and to make sure that relationships with your customers operate smoothly.
The rules about registration timing can differ between countries, so guidance is essential to ensure that you register at the right time. Within the EU, there is an overall no registration threshold for non-resident businesses (even though this can differ somewhat between individual countries). But out with the EU, there may be thresholds, but the position is not consistent, so professional assistance would be necessary.
If a business has a responsibility to be registered and there is a delay in alerting the tax authorities, it is essential to decide the consequences for the business and precisely how VAT is accounted for in respect of this period. The rules differ considerably between tax authorities. An expert investigation will be essential to make sure that the registration is from the proper date.
