I have identified a date on which the expectation arose that I would exceed the VAT threshold within 30 days of that date. From what date will my registration take effect?

Your date of registration will be the date on which you declare that the expectation arose. You cannot be registered any later than this date, but you can request an earlier date. Note: The rules which govern the date on which your registration is required to become effective are not the same as those which determine the date on which you are required to notify us of your liability for registration.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
