Registering a new business

[Le Chat]

Is it possible to find out whether a business that has been operational for the last year,  registered with the inland revenue within its first three months of opening - as is the law?

Not sure that it is required. They would only need to register for VAT if their turnover will be over �60,000 (or thereabouts) per year. They wouls also only need to register for PAYE if they are an employee.

So if you have a sole trader builder who is turning over �50,000 a year, I don't think he would need to register with HM Revenue & Customs (the new name for the revenue)
