If you’re VAT registered, you have to file a VAT Return every quarter.
Even if there is no VAT due for that period (for example, if you registered your company for VAT but haven’t started trading, or if your company is registered for VAT but just hasn’t traded in the relevant period) you still have to file a Return.
This is known as a Zero VAT Return or a Nil VAT Return.
