# VAT registration
## VAT is a tax applied to most goods and services. You may need to register based on your business turnover, or you can register voluntarily
### Do I need to register for VAT?
You must register for VAT if any of the following apply:
- Your VAT taxable turnover will exceed £90,000 in the next 12 months
- You want to reclaim VAT on your business purchases
- You want your company to appear more established to customers and suppliers
VAT registration is not automatic - you must apply for it.
💡 You can find out more about VAT [here](https://www.gov.uk/how-vat-works).
