Hi, When registering for VAT, there are the home/personal information section and a section for business information both asking for the respective address, contact information etc. Can you please let me know that upon successful registration of VAT which information provided during the registration process would be public information?

The business information is the details which are publicly available. The personal address information is used by HMRC to identify you as a legitimate person (to avoid people registering for VAT using false details).

Hi,

If another company wants to verify your VAT number, they can check this using the VAT checker on our website.

This will not show any personal information but will show the name of the business and the principal place of business.

Thank you.
