Thank you for your response. Is completing a VAT50/51 also sufficient for creating a new VAT group consisting of an entity which already has a stand-alone registration and another one currently not VAT registered? Not sure if anyone reported it yet, but there is glitch with the VAT50/51 - after completing it and hitting 'Preview', the printable format doesn't pick up the entities to be added/removed. I tried several times and the pirnt-out is missing this information.

To add entities, that are currently not VAT registered, to an existing VAT group, do I need to apply for VAT registration for each of the companies online (effectively completing VAT1 forms) and attach VAT50/51? Or, is it sufficient to submit a VAT50/51 form listing all entities to be added without applying for VAT registration? If the latter, can I send the VAT50/51 in an email to grouprepliesvat@hmrc.gov.uk or to vrs.newregistrations@hmrc.gov.uk?
