    Early VAT Registration.

    How could I calculate whether it's beneficial to register for VAT before reaching the threshold? In my first month of trading we've turned over £35k so it won't be long before we hit the threshold anyway. The reason I'm asking about doing it early is because both eBay and Amazon are funny...

    Yes, our sales on Amazon are the lowest they've been in quite a few years. Other platforms are roughly the same but eBay is about half from what we would expect it to be.
