Hypothetical question

    I want to start up a business which would require an initial hefty cash outlay in setting up. Therefore I voluntary register for VAT. I then set up my business and claim back the VAT on purchases on setting up. After 12 months the business folds. Is there any liability on the VAT that I claimed back, i.e. do the government look for the VAT from me that I claimed back?
