When did the business first expect to go over the VAT registration threshold in the next 30 days?

Please enter the actual date that you first expected that the business would go over the VAT registration threshold in the next 30 days. For example, if the business won a contract on 16th April 2012 that meant it would make taxable supplies on 15th May 2012 that were in excess of the VAT registration threshold, please enter 16/04/2012.

You should not enter a date that is more than 30 days prior to exceeding the VAT registration threshold. In the above example, if the business won a contract on 1st April 2012 that meant it would make taxable supplies on 15th May 2012 that were in excess of the VAT registration threshold, you would still need to enter 16/04/2012.
