This service is available to purchase through our website. https://www.wizzaccounting.co.uk/services/hmrc-advice/

The timeline for HMRC to approve new VAT registrations can vary significantly, based on HMRC’s workload and the information submitted by the customer. The VAT registration process typically takes 30 – 40 days, although it can often take longer.
