What Is a VAT Certificate

When you register your business for VAT, HMRC will send you a VAT certificate that details:

★ Your businesses VAT number
☆ The businesses name
★ Details of when to submit the first return and payment
☆ An effective date of registration, so this is the date from which VAT needs to be charged on vatable sales.

Can you charge VAT Without A VAT Number?

Your business needs to be registered for VAT and have a valid VAT certificate online or registration number in order to charge and display VAT on an invoice legally. HMRC are very strict about this and do not take kindly to those who break the law however there are certain situations where it might be necessary to start accounting for VAT a little early (sort of).

First things first you cannot charge VAT prior to the effective date of registration. If you are registering voluntarily then you will choose this date but if this is a compulsory registration then it will usually be the date that your business was required to register.

It can take some time from the effective date of registration until the VAT certificate is actually received. For example, you may have submitted an application for VAT registration to be effective on the 1st May, but your VAT certificate along with your VAT number did not come through until the 1st June. So, how can you account for the VAT for invoices charged during the period 1st May to 1st June? Watch the video to find out more.
