However, ONS has published statistics showing that there were 2,770 businesses newly registered for VAT or PAYE in the Wealden constituency between 2010 and 2014. Some newly registered businesses will have been trading for a number of years and other active businesses will not be covered because they are operating below the VAT and PAYE registration thresholds. answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry question first answered 12/02/2016 14:27:33 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry
