Can anyone advise how soon after sending in the TR2 form can I get my VAT number? The form was posted last week and I need the Vat number asap. Thanks.
 
Several weeks usually. You could try ringing the tax district to try speed it up but that may or may not help.
 
Yeah it tooks us a month and a half to recieve ours. The revenue office are very helpful though and can fasttrack it through if you need it urgently.
 
isnt your vat number the same as your pps number with ie before it,mine is anyway.

Yes it is (usually) for a sole-trader. However Form TR2 which the OP completed is for companies. Companies are allocated a number unrelated to the PPS numbers of the owners/directors. It is not, therefore, possible to know what the number will be before Revenue issue it.
