The VAT minefield

Your business must register for VAT if its turnover on taxable supplies exceeds £90,000.

You’ll need to charge VAT on goods and services you sell, and reclaim the VAT paid on your business purchases.

If only it were that simple. VAT is perhaps the most complex of business taxes, with an eye watering volume of rules dealing with every type of supply, circumstance and industry imaginable.

With its range of scheme options and substantial impact on cash flows, it places a significant administrative burden on businesses and demands serious attention.
