From HM Revenue & Customs · VAT Registration
For further registration information with regard to acquisitions, see VATREG39000.
VAT Act 1994, section 49(1)(a) does not refer to acquisitions, so there is no requirement for the transferee of a business making relevant acquisitions to have to refer to the transferor’s relevant acquisitions when determining whether and when to VAT register.
