VAT transfer from sole trader to limited company

I have recently taken on a new client - a limited company - and have come to submit the VAT return and discovered that the VAT has never been updated from sole trader status. The company started in October 2014. I am completing VAT1 and VAT68 now but where I enter the date of transfer will there be any implications if I enter the actual transfer date of nearly 2 years ago?!
Any advice gratefully received.
Thanks.

Whether they actually do or not is up for debate as any such penalty could more than likely be successfully challenged as there has been no revenue loss to HMRC. One such case recently went to Tribunal (J&W Brown- TC05101) according to a colleague.
So you may be opening yourself up for a few letters to be going back and forth but if I was a betting man, I'd say they'd be ok
