Registering for UK VAT yourself is not as daunting task as you might think with EAS by your side
Full step-by-step guide here
You can easily register for UK VAT at https://www.tax.service.gov.uk/register-for-vat/
The registration form takes approximately 15 minutes to fill out.
You need one of the following documents:
- A Passport
- A photo drivers license
- A national identity card
You need two of the following documents:
- A mortgage statement
- A lease or rental agreement
- A work permit or Visa
- Any correspondence from the Department of Work and Pensions confirming entailment to benefits
- A recent utility bill
- A birth certificate
Elaboration on few questions:
"Will the business trade VAT-taxable goods with countries outside the UK?"
- If you intend to deliver goods from UK to EU, "YES"
- If you only intend to sell in UK, "NO"
"Do you need an EORI number?"
In reality EORI number is only required if you participate in customs process and 99% do not and even that 1% should not. BUT: some logistics companies insist on you having the EORI number.
Getting one is free, so you might as well get it if you answered "Yes" to the previous one.
