You do not need a VAT number to upgrade to a Business account for PayPal.

Hi,

But when I get more money into UK PP they will ask me to submit the VAT ID number right ?

No you cannot, it’s fraud so dont’t bother, I suggest you open more stealth accounts and spread sales so that you do not hit the VAT threshold therefore not requiring VAT number.
