MAKING TAX DIGITALGet your record keeping right for MTDAll businesses compulsorily registered for VAT will have to comply with Making Tax Digital from April 2019. What are the key things to have in place to get your record keeping right? |
PLACE OF SUPPLYDo you need to charge VAT to overseas customers?You normally only provide your services to UK customers but you’ve had an unexpected opportunity to do some work for a customer based abroad. How do you decide whether to charge VAT? |
PREPAYMENTSHow to avoid extra costs due to prepaymentsIf you receive advance payments from your customers, you could be affected by a change hidden in the 2018 Budget small print, taking effect from 1 March 2019. But what is it and what should you do to avoid a real cash cost? |
ERROR CORRECTIONHow to fix an incorrect invoice without losing moneyYou are reviewing your records in anticipation of a VAT record check. You find a sales invoice from 2016 that was incorrectly zero-rated, meaning £15,000 has been underpaid. How can you correct this without a loss of profit to the business? |
SUBCONTRACTOR EXPENSESClaiming input tax on subcontractors’ expensesOur subscriber, a construction business, uses subcontractors as well as employees. Where working away is required they pay for hotels and meals for both types of worker. Can they claim the input tax back for the subcontractors? |
DEFAULT SURCHARGEDefault surcharge: no fine means no problem, doesn’t it?Where you’re late submitting a VAT return or paying your bill, HMRC will issue a surcharge notice. But if it’s your first offence it won’t fine you. Why is it important that you don’t simply breathe a sigh of relief at not receiving a penalty? |
VAT CASESRacing car engine was not capital expenditure goods for flat rate scheme. |
VAT CASESHMRC was wrong to refuse backdated option to tax election. |
DEREGISTRATIONCan we deregister now? |
DONATIONSDo we charge VAT on the donation? |
