The CIOT has published a list of common errors in online VAT registration applications which lead to delays. The list, produced by the Joint VAT Consultative Committee, highlights the following errors to be avoided:
address not matching the business’s principal place of business;
trade classification not matching up with the work that the business itself carries out;
VAT liability of trading not correctly identified;
invalid signatory for the application (e.g. for a corporate body it must be a director, company secretary or authorised signatory or an authorised agent);
invalid dates on the application; and
bank account details provided are not in the name of the taxable person.
