What are my reporting obligations if I wish to apply for UK VAT registration?
On successful registration, the company is obliged to make a quarterly return stating total net (i.e. before VAT) sales and purchases, the VAT element thereof, along with the total value of sales to and purchases from other EU states. In addition, a UK company selling to companies in other EU states is obliged to complete an EC Sales List each quarter, detailing the VAT numbers of those customers and the total value of supplies to each.
