From 1 April 2017 the VAT registration threshold will increase to £85,000 from £83,000 and the deregistration threshold will rise from £81,000 to £83,000. The measure will increase the registration and deregistration thresholds for VAT in line with inflation and for EU acquisition in line with the VAT registration threshold. By increasing the threshold it will prevent 4,000 small businesses from having to register for VAT by the end of 2017-18, with the deregistration threshold set lower to avoid businesses close to the threshold level having to constantly register and deregister.
