Why registration is on your mind
You may have seen turnover grow, received a customer question or started a new activity. Use those facts as the starting point rather than relying on someone else’s registration experience. The relevant rules and dates need to fit your business.
Figures and activities to check
Gather turnover records, a description of what you sell and any expected changes. Both past activity and what is about to happen can matter. If you are unsure which figures belong in the review, bring the records rather than selecting a total without context.
The registration process
Registration requires more than completing a form. The effective date, invoices, accounting records and method of maintaining information all need consideration. Discuss how the business currently works so the change can be planned practically.

Will I need different invoices after registration?
