- The chancellor is considering raising the VAT registration threshold to £100,000 in the Autumn Budget 2025.
- This change would allow Personal Service Companies to generate an additional £10,000 before needing to register for VAT.
- Currently, PSCs must register for VAT when income exceeds £90,000 in a 12-month period.
- Rachel Reeves is reportedly leading a review of the VAT system, with the threshold increase as a key proposal.
- Critics argue the increase from £90,000 to £100,000 is not significant enough to impact growth.
- Some suggest a higher threshold, such as £120,000, to better support small businesses.
- The Federation of Small Businesses previously recommended a £100,000 threshold to address “bunching” below the VAT limit.
- Concerns exist about the “cliff-edge” effect, where businesses limit growth to avoid VAT registration.
- Suggestions include a sliding scale or grace period to make the system fairer.
