Need to register for VAT if income from two separate jobs over 35k?

    As a sole trader, I must register for VAT if I supply more that 35k worth of services in a year - see http://www.revenue.ie/index.htm?/revguide/vat.htm#section2

    If I have a day job, say as a contracter in a financial company, and an occasional evening job as, say, a DJ, and I earn 30k from the former and 10k from the latter, can I consider the two as "separate" businesses (just operating as a sole trader for both, without forming a limited company to cover either job) and therefore neither on its own liable for registering for VAT?

    Just musing so I'm open to correction, but I'd say that you're a single business entity filing a single return of all your income, so I'd think how many businesses you are involved in is irrelevant from the Revenue's POV. They'd just be interested in your total income.
