You need to be well under the threshold really, trading with a turn over near to it is pretty dangerous, go one penny over and you suddenly owe the VAT man up to £16,200:001_huh:

Vat reg you could claim vat back on all your purchases, down side is you will have to charge 20% on top of your normal fee.

You can reduce your normal fee by the % diference on what you spend and charge on vat .

So if going vat reg saves you £5k a year, divide that into your turnover, get the %, take it off your day rate then add 20% for the vat.

Why would you possibly want to do that? It defeats the purpose of going vat registered and paying 20% less on all your purchases

[carpenter1]

but would demestic clients take 20% more,

i do not think they would

Of course they would and they do

[Stephen Blair]

I didn't say you had to, I said you could.

Some view going vat reg not as a saving to their business but a risk to loosing customers.
