Should I be VAT registered?

Hi,
Was told if my company turnover was over £50k should be VAT registered...but then told by another accountant it depends on my product/service?

Can anyone tell me for definite??

Many thanks
alik

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).
