The answer is both.
If your "taxable turnover" exceeds £60,000 during a 12 month rolling period then you are required to register for VAT.
Taxable turnover includes any income that attracts UK VAT at 17.5%, 5% or 0% but excludes exempt transactions and transactions deemed to have been made outside the UK.
For a quick guide take a look at the 1 Minute Guide To VAT on this site (see 1 Minute Guides in the menu on the right hand side).
