stupid vat man

[parrot of doom]

I'm applying for VAT registration for my new business. Anyone know where the VAT1 form gets sent to (application)?

It says to look at notice 700/1 which is about 18 million pages long, and I can't see an address anywhere!

If these people were in business, they'd be out of it in a day!

It could be Camarthen, Grimsby, Newry or Wolverhampton. It depends on your postcode.

Check out this link to the official site which shows which office covers which postcode:

Thanks. Why they don't put that link in massive letters on the 700/1 page I don't know.

Oh wait, its a public 'service' body! Thats why!
