You must register for VAT if your taxable turnover exceeds the VAT threshold. It may be beneficial to register for VAT even if you don't meet the VAT threshold. To consider your options, speak to an accountant.
Firstly, it's not uncommon for businesses to creep over the VAT threshold and not realise they should have registered for VAT. Registering therefore reduces the chance of missing this deadline and being liable to penalties. Being VAT registered also allows you to claim back VAT on your purchases and it is possible that this could be advanatgeous for your business, depending on what you're selling.
If you want to become VAT registered, you can register with HMRC online, or ask your accountant to do this for you. You will need to have some information to hand, including your business bank account details, company registration number (if applicable), your Unique Tax Reference (UTR) and/or your National Insurance number. You will also need to know your annual turnover and information relating to you and your business' taxes.
Once you're registered you'll receive a VAT registration number and be able to set up an online business tax and VAT account.
