- Online Registration Preferred: Most businesses, including partnerships and groups, should register for VAT online, but certain situations require postal registration using the VAT1 form. This includes specific cases like LLPs registering as VAT group representatives, overseas partnerships, and local authorities.
- Postal Registration Criteria: You can register by post if online registration is impractical due to age, health, disability, location, religious objections to computer use, or lack of internet access. HMRC will consider other valid reasons for postal registration on a case-by-case basis.
- Process for Postal Registration: To register by post, contact HMRC to request the VAT1 form. An adviser will verify your reasons, and if accepted, you will receive the form. Complete and return the form and any additional required forms to HMRC. Postal applications generally take longer to process than online ones.
