On what date in the past did the business first expect to go over the threshold in the following 30 days?

Please enter the date in the past on which you expected the business would go over the VAT registration threshold in the next 30 days. For example, if on the 2nd November 2009 the business planned an exhibition and believed increased sales would take the business over the VAT threshold on 1st December 2009, please enter 02/11/2009.

You should not enter a date that is more than 30 days prior to the expected date of exceeding the VAT registration threshold. In the above example, if the business planned an exhibition on 15th October 2009, with the same expectation that increased sales would take the business over the VAT threshold on 1st December 2009, they would still need to enter 02/11/2009.
