What changed, and when
Every change to our guides is recorded here with its date and reason, including the HMRC notice version it was checked against.
- Corrections and additions. Late registration penalties corrected to the current failure-to-notify rules (Schedule 41, Finance Act 2008). Invoicing guidance while you wait for a VAT number clarified. Added guidance on rejected applications and UK companies with overseas directors. Reviewed by Peter Allen.
- Ten guides added. VAT threshold, UK establishment, marketplace sellers, selling goods into the UK, SaaS and digital services, how to register, how long registration takes, late registration penalties, voluntary registration, and tax representatives. Checked against VAT Notice 700/1 and the GOV.UK guidance cited on each page. Reviewed by Peter Allen.
- Site launched. Published the VAT registration checker, the overseas business (NETP) guide, pricing and about pages. All rules checked against the full text of HMRC VAT Notice 700/1 (sections 2 to 5 and 9 to 12) and its supplement, both updated 5 August 2026, and GOV.UK guidance on EORI numbers.
