Vat kills domestic work. Set up a LTD co for the vat and keep the sole trader non-vat. Put domestic thru the latter and commercial thru the ltd co.

 

This is fine, BUT you need separate equipment for each business. I used to do this, but amalgamated the two in the end.

Bill was 4,800 odd

 

So 15%

We're flat rated, most of the jobs were high turnover not necessary big profit jobs from hiring in lots of kit so I fear we may have been screwed anyway.

 

Sometimes as a small business your to busy working and earning money it's easy to forget.

 

Hurts as that's serval days work for nothing,

An easy way to land in deep poo when the powers that be find out.

 

It takes time to get your head round it simon but hang in there, you say domestics don't like paying vat, but we all pay it on pretty much everything but we don't know it, fuel at the garden centre, b and q even some food, on domestics price a bit Keane but build the vat in and be a bit tough, business is a tough game.

 

There's plenty of contractors on here who are vat reg and do ok

It's completely legit; Accountant sorted it all out. Ian - it's the legal way to do it. No deep poo involved.
