The UK has a higher VAT registration threshold than any EU Member State and the second highest in the OECD at £85,000. This keeps the majority of businesses out of VAT altogether. The number of businesses newly registering for VAT in each year can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/value-added-tax-vat-annual-statistics" target="_blank">Value Added Tax (VAT) annual statistics - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)</a>, see Table T2.
