Year 9 - issue 8 - 07.06.2019
IMPORTSHMRC warning on import VAT errorsHMRC has identified a problem with businesses incorrectly claiming VAT on imports. What is the problem and how can you ensure you don’t miss out on legitimate VAT recovery? |
REGISTRATIONNew trade - best registration date?You have identified a new business opportunity that you want to keep separate from your main business. What should you consider regarding your VAT recovery if you don’t want to register straightaway? |
VAT ADMINISTRATIONHMRC slow to reply: is there an alternative?Following staff cuts, HMRC is notably slower to respond to queries than before. If you are unsure about how to account for VAT on a transaction, is there an alternative to submitting a written query? |
PARTIAL EXEMPTIONTake advantage of the first year concessionYour new business took over a lease on some premises on 1 April 2019 and registered for VAT on the same day. You have standard-rated income and have spent £100,000 on renovation. How do you maximise your VAT recovery? |
BUILDING CONVERSIONSImprove your cash profit on a building conversionOur subscriber is converting a house into four flats with a view to selling them. Her bookkeeper has advised her to register for VAT to enable her to claim 75% of any input tax she incurs. Is this advice correct? |
PLACE OF SUPPLYHow to decide where your customer is basedYour business carried out some work for a customer who you thought was based in the UK. When the job finished, the customer asked you to invoice an overseas branch of his business and not charge UK VAT. Is this request acceptable? |
VAT CASESCompany allowed to claim input tax on solicitor’s invoices addressed to director. |
VAT CASESManagement charge was genuine so company was de minimis for partial exemption. |
EDUCATIONWill incorporating cause a VAT problem? |
BUSINESS EXPENSESDoes the name on the invoice matter? |
