1A UK business's taxable turnover exceeds the VAT registration threshold on a rolling 12-month basis. What is this threshold for 2025/26?
A.£85,000
B.£88,000
C.£90,000
D.£150,000
Explanation: The VAT registration threshold has been £90,000 of taxable turnover (rolling 12 months) since April 2024 and remains frozen for 2025/26. A business must register once taxable turnover in the previous 12 months exceeds this figure.
2Under the historic (backward-looking) registration test, within what period must a business notify HMRC after its rolling 12-month taxable turnover first exceeds £90,000?
A.7 days
B.14 days
C.30 days
D.60 days
Explanation: When the backward-looking test is met, the business must notify HMRC within 30 days of the end of the month in which the threshold was exceeded. Registration then takes effect from the first day of the second month after the limit was breached.
3Under the future (forward-looking) registration test, a business must register for VAT when it expects taxable turnover to exceed £90,000 in:
A.the next 30 days alone
B.the next 3 months
C.the next 6 months
D.the next 12 months
Explanation: The forward-looking test is triggered when a business reasonably expects its taxable turnover to exceed £90,000 in the next 30 days alone. It must notify HMRC by the end of that 30-day period, and registration is effective from the start of that period.
4What is the standard rate of UK VAT applied to most goods and services?
A.5%
B.12.5%
C.17.5%
D.20%
Explanation: The standard rate of UK VAT is 20% and applies to the majority of taxable supplies. The reduced rate is 5% and certain supplies are zero-rated (0%) or exempt.
5Which of the following supplies is zero-rated for UK VAT purposes?
A.Insurance services
B.Domestic electricity
C.Postage stamps
D.Most food for human consumption
Explanation: Most food for human consumption is zero-rated (taxable at 0%), meaning the supplier charges no VAT but can still recover input VAT. Zero-rated supplies are taxable supplies and count towards the registration threshold.
6What is the key difference between a zero-rated supply and an exempt supply for VAT recovery?
A.Both allow full input VAT recovery
B.Neither allows input VAT recovery
C.Zero-rated allows input VAT recovery; exempt generally does not
D.Exempt allows input VAT recovery; zero-rated does not
Explanation: Zero-rated supplies are taxable at 0%, so the supplier can recover related input VAT. Exempt supplies are outside the charge, so input VAT attributable to them is generally not recoverable, which affects partial exemption.
7A business makes both taxable and exempt supplies. What term describes its VAT status?
A.Fully taxable
B.Zero-rated trader
C.Non-registered
D.Partially exempt
Explanation: A business making both taxable and exempt supplies is partially exempt. It must apportion input VAT between taxable and exempt activities, recovering only the portion attributable to taxable supplies (subject to de minimis limits).
8What is the VAT deregistration threshold, below which a business may apply to cancel its registration?
A.£83,000
B.£85,000
C.£88,000
D.£90,000
Explanation: A business may apply for voluntary deregistration when it expects taxable turnover in the next 12 months to fall below the deregistration threshold of £88,000. This is set £2,000 below the £90,000 registration threshold.
9A business voluntarily registers for VAT before reaching the threshold. What is a key advantage of doing so?
A.It avoids keeping VAT records
B.It is exempt from Making Tax Digital
C.It pays a lower rate of VAT
D.It can reclaim input VAT on purchases
Explanation: Voluntary registration allows a business to reclaim input VAT on its purchases and expenses, which benefits businesses with mainly zero-rated sales or significant input costs. It also presents a more established image to customers.
10Which document must a VAT-registered business issue to another VAT-registered customer to allow that customer to reclaim input VAT?
A.A pro forma invoice
B.A remittance advice
C.A delivery note
D.A valid VAT invoice
Explanation: A valid VAT invoice is required for a customer to reclaim input VAT. It must show specified details including the supplier's VAT number, invoice date, tax point, a description of goods/services, the net amount, VAT rate, and VAT charged.
