Are you able to get VAT registered for a company, even though you're not planning to start trading for at least a year?

What would be the point?
Surely if you're hoping to be able to reclaim taxes then you'd need to be trading in order to justify that.
Or have i misunderstood? ..it's been know to happen.

You can register in advance of trading. go to the hmrc website and check out the VAT section

Thanks, all I wanted to know - had a look on the side but couldn't find anything.
I won't need to reclaim back anything if I'm not trading, but need to be able to charge/claim VAT as soon as I start.
well unless the majority of our clients are VAT registered business why don’t you take advance of the fact that you can turn over 60 000 before you have to register for VAT, especially if you have understanding suppliers
If you need a decent accountant my UK accountant lives quite close to you (well if you are still in the same place) he is very good and reasonably with his prices.
You actually probably know of him already if you follow local politics
