Voluntary VAT registration depends on what you are selling and who you are selling to. If you will be mainly be selling to businesses then it may be benificial for you to be registered. But if your selling to end users then not. Yes you may be able to claim back VAT on purchases however you will be selling to make a profit so the VAT you well have to pay will be greater than the VAT you will be claiming back. It will just increase your costs. Hence you would only really want to register if you reach the threshold.
