Hi All, I have a Vat related query:

On the Vat101e form there is a question that one has to fill: "Date on which the person became / will become liable for Registration". If one back dates this [to for example 01 July 2012]can one start charging VAT to clients - from 01 July 2012 - before receiving Vat Registration number? If not what is the purpose of this question.

Thanks in advance.
