I am advised by Revenue that the average waiting time for a VAT registration application to be processed is generally between 10 and 12 days, where all relevant information and supporting documentation is provided.
Where the requested documentation is not provided or where the level of information is insufficient to properly confirm the precise nature of the goods or services to which VAT is to be applied by the accountable person, then it is not possible for Revenue to complete the registration process.
Revenue has confirmed to me that it has requested additional information from the business in question regarding its VAT registration application, which has not yet been provided. Revenue has assured me that once the information is received it will deal with the matter.
