You'll receive a VAT Registration Certificate in the post shortly after registering for VAT.

It's surprisingly useful, so make sure you save it. You'll also need to include your VAT number on invoices.

Companies and Sole Traders can register for VAT. If you switch from one business type to another, you may need to transfer your VAT registration too.
