A common question is should you register for VAT, just some of the issues to consider include:

You must register for VAT when your turnover exceeds the VAT threshold (£85,000 from 1^st April 2018).
Your turnover includes all income, royalties, appearance fees and hire charges for sound and lighting engineers.
There are complex rules for some services such as Google Adwords as they are subject to a ‘reverse charge rule‘ as they are billed from Ireland.
There is a flat-rate scheme option and we will advise you whether this makes sense for you, it means that you pay a fixed VAT rate and keep the difference between what you pay to HMRC and the rate you charge to your customers. To be entitled you must have a VAT turnover of £150,000 or less.
