Do I need to register my company for VAT?

Yes, if your company turnover exceeds the VAT threshold of £90,000.  If the turnover is below the threshold, it can still be beneficial for some businesses to register for VAT. You can learn more over on the gov.uk website.

The exchange rate will also update automatically every 30 seconds, allowing you to see how much the person you're paying will receive and how much it'll cost you in real time.

After you’ve made the payment, you can see the exchange rate used again by tapping on the transaction in your timeline. For any rejected outbound payments we will apply the exchange rate available at the time of the return. This means when the payment is returned to you, it might be a different amount.

If you’ve received a payment, you can see these same details by tapping the transaction in your timeline.
