Hi
My wholesale supplier has asked me to provide them with an intra-Community VAT number:
This is the individual VAT number given to all taxable persons in the European Community.
I am not VAT registered and am a sole trader.
I am a higher rate taxpayer.
How do I get such a VAT number without formally registering for VAT?
Thanks
Trudy

You cannot get a VAT registration number without being registered for VAT. You must register if your vatable supplies exceed £61,000 pa. but you can register voluntarily. This may be necessary if your wholesale supplier insists on having the number (as they are apt to do!). It may not be all bad news if you register, since you will be able to reclaim input VAT charged on your purchases and expenses. Your accountant can help you with this.
The amount of income tax you pay is not relevant to your VAT situation.

I don't believe you can but a quick phone call to your local 'friendly' customs and revenue office should straighten you out.
I guess they need it for their intrastat.
