Learning More about VAT: What You Should Know
VAT sounds simple enough. Whether you’re self-employed or part of a company, the basic rule is that if your sales exceed an annual gross profit of £82,000, you need to register for VAT.
You can also opt to pay VAT even if you are below this threshold. But why would you do that? Some smaller companies choose to register for VAT to give the impression that their company is bigger than it actually is and improves credibility.
The registration process for VAT can actually be quite complicated. This is where elements of the process start to differ, based on numerous different factors such as income, industry and status. Our VAT advice services can be a crucial pillar of support during this time.
Once you are register and understand what VAT you need to pay, there are a few ways you can do it, which makes matters even more complex. To help you make sense of things, we have broken down the two primary ways to pay:
- Case by case: This method of paying VAT sees you declare all invoices and receipts for the quarter, both incoming and outgoing. It’s often the best way to pay in terms of profitability, but it can very time-consuming and management of the process is hard.
- Flat rate VAT: The flat rate scheme is designed for businesses that have less than £150,000 turnover. Under this scheme, you will be assigned a flat rate tax percentage based on your industry. You then simply apply the rate to the total of your invoices. This may sound like the perfect solution, but a word of warning: with this method, you may end up paying more, depending on what kind of business you operate.
Our expert VAT accountants will know exactly which method is optimised for your business and will help you achieve the best results.
