Hi folks, hopefully someone can help with with this because I've not come accross this situation before.
I have a client who was a sole trader and his t/o was within a few thousand of the registration threshold but never went over it. In May this year he's converted the sole tradership to a Ltd Company.
How does this affect the monitoring for compulsory registration? Does the 12 month period continue to role over or does monitoring effectively start again at the date of incorporation?
Any help is much appreciated.
Regards Tony,

VAT is based on the turnover of the entity so it should start over. It is the limited company that is liable for VAT not the shareholder or director
For example if an individual works for himself and has two businesses then the combined turnover is used, if they are also a member of a partnership that is not included as the partnership is a seperate entity.
