Registering for VAT "We could not confirm your business"

Answer

Posted 9 days ago by Steven Gordon
I am trying to register for VAT online. We are an NETP, with a UK-registered business. Going through the registration online, I get the above error along with "The information you provided does not match the details we have about your business." The form only asked me about my personal address and personal UTR, so I'm not even sure how it's deciding my business information is incorrect.

Thanks. Turns out the problem (I think) is I had to type my UTR manually into the form, not copy/paste it.
