In the past did you expect the taxable turnover to go over the threshold in the following 30 day period?
Please answer 'Yes' to this question if at any time in the past, you expected the value of the taxable supplies to go over the VAT registration threshold in the next 30 days alone. This could happen if, for example, a business planned to run an exhibition and anticipated selling so many tickets it expected to go over the VAT threshold. The business would need to answer 'Yes' to this question irrespective of the actual sales that were made.
