VAT retrospective exception

VAT retrospective exception

Didn't find your answer?

I have a prospective client who is enquiring about his potential liability to register for VAT.
Looking at 12 month rolling turnover figures, he consistently exceeds the registration threshold between  September 2014 to May 2015. However, he ceased trading on 31/12/15 and the turnover figures for y/e 30/9/15, y/e 31/10 15, y/e 30/11/15 and y/e 31/12/15 are all below £79,000. On this basis , Am I correct in saying he does not need to register for VAT ? Does he still need to inform HMRC and request an exception on basis of temporarily exceeding the VAT threshold ?

If he ceased trading why's he bothered?
