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.
