Thankyou everyone! You've put my mind at rest!!

I also thought for VAT registration you needed some invoices to prove you are trading.

You definitely don't need them.

You can enter nil returns until you are trading.

The VAT people seem to have more of a problem with people trading, being near the limit and not registering for VAT then people who are trading and provide nil returns.

(Well that's what it sounded like when I went on a VAT course with a former VAT inspector.)
