Instead of working out the VAT that you need to pay over to HMRC by deducting input VAT from output VAT, you pay a fixed percentage of your VAT-inclusive turnover. The percentage depends on the nature of your business.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who can join?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To be eligible to join the VAT flat rate scheme you must be a VAT-registered business and expect your VAT taxable turnover to be \u00a3150,000 or less. This is the total of everything that you sell that is not exempt from VAT, exclusive of VAT. You cannot re-join the scheme if you have left it in the last 12 months.<\/p>\n<p>Once in the scheme, you must leave if your turnover in the last 12 months was more than \u00a3230,000 including VAT, or you expect your turnover in the next 30 days alone to be more than \u00a3230,000 (including VAT).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Working out your VAT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The flat rate percentage depends on the nature of your business. The percentages applying to different business sectors can be found on the Gov.uk website. The percentages allow for input VAT recovery and are less than the rate of VAT charged.<\/p>\n<p>You receive a discount of 1% from your flat-rate percentage for the first year that you are in the scheme.<\/p>\n<p>The VAT that your need to pay to HMRC for a quarter is simply the fixed rate percentage as applied to your VAT-inclusive turnover.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Example<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Molly runs a beauty business. Her annual turnover (excluding VAT) is \u00a390,000. In a particular VAT quarter, her VAT inclusive turnover is \u00a332,400. The flat rate percentage for her sector \u2013 hairdressing and other beauty treatments \u2013 is 13%. Consequently, she must pay HMRC VAT of \u00a34,212 for the quarter. She does not need to keep records of her input VAT or work out the difference between VAT charged and VAT suffered in the quarter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Limited cost businesses<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Special rules apply to business that do not buy many goods \u2013 known as limited cost businesses. These are business where goods are less than either 2% of turnover or \u00a31,000 a year.<\/p>\n<p>Limited cost businesses must use a higher rate of 16.5% to work out the VAT that they pay over to HMRC, regardless of the sector in which they operate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is the scheme worthwhile?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The scheme will save work, but this may come at a cost if the amount that you would pay using the normal rules is less than the amount determined using the fixed rate percentage. There is no substitute to doing the sums.<\/p>\n<p>The flat rate percentage for limited cost businesses of 16.5% of VAT-inclusive turnover is equivalent to 19.8% of net turnover, leaving little margin for input VAT recovery as 99% of the VAT charged at 20% must be paid over to HMRC. This may be problematic for a business that spends little on goods but incurs VAT on services and items such as fuel and promotional items, which are excluded from the calculation. Again, to assess whether the scheme is worthwhile, there is no substitute for doing the sums.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Partner note: <\/strong>VATA 1994, s. 26B; the Value Added Tax Regulations 1995, regs. 55A \u2013 55V; VAT Notice 733<\/p>\n<h5>&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/13.0.1\/svg\/2602.svg\" alt=\"\u2602\ufe0f\" \/><strong>For Help<\/strong>\u00a0with Topic above or any Accountancy help \u2013 contact us:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cloud9accountingteam.co.uk\/sk\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cloud 9 Accounting Team\u00a0<\/a><\/h5>\n<h5>&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/13.0.1\/svg\/2602.svg\" alt=\"\u2602\ufe0f\" \/><strong>For<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>Answer on your Question \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>submit your question and we respond asap:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/martinasujova-8e23e.gr8.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">On Off\u00a0 Question<\/a><\/h5>\n<h5>&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/13.0.1\/svg\/2602.svg\" alt=\"\u2602\ufe0f\" \/><strong>For Leads, Tax articles Copywriting \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0those who do not need accountant but need some leads, tax articles for their website\/marketing \u2013 join here and get your unique tax content (copy and paste, ask for sample today):\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cloud9clubsub.gr8.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cloud 9 Club\u00a0<\/a><\/h5>\n<h5>&gt;<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"emoji\" role=\"img\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/s.w.org\/images\/core\/emoji\/13.0.1\/svg\/2602.svg\" alt=\"\u2602\ufe0f\" \/><strong>For Self Employed<\/strong>\u00a0who don\u2019t have accountant \u2013 get regular advice:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cloud9clubsub.gr8.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cloud 9 Club<\/a><\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VAT Flat Rate Scheme \u2013 Is It Worthwhile?
