All this stuff is super confusing. https://www.austrade.gov.au/contact/faqs/i-want-to-export-my... says you need to register if: > your VAT taxable turnover is more than £85,000 (the 'threshold') in a 12 month period > you expect to go over the threshold in a single 30 day period

WTF? How the hell would anyone know that? What if you never sell to the UK, but someone goes on a run because some product randomly becomes popular. It is such an unnecessary minefield.

The bullet point right below the 2 you quoted literally answers you question. "If neither you nor your business is based in the UK. You must register as soon as you supply any goods and services to the UK (Same with EU)". Alternatively, don't do business in a country you consider to complex to deal with.
You can register after the fact. Why don't you people inform yourselves instead of being such whiny, clueless brats.
