Although I never closed my company down when I took a permanent job, I deregistered from VAT (and PAYE) nearly 4 years ago. I need to get registered again (and rejoin the FRS).
Logging onto online.hmrc.gov.uk it still shows my VAT account with the old number, but the certifcate shows de-registered. What I don't know, and can't find out is if I need to reactivate my old VAT number, or if I need to reapply and get a new number, and how I would go about it. There's no obvious way I can see in the online system of doing either.
Before I spend half the day trying to phone them up, does anyone know the answer?
