    Profits and tax question

    thanks James, is that why some of my competitors can sell that little bit cheaper? so being vat registered does have an upside. so, buying i claim the vat back and selling i pay vat like everyone else. A lot of my trade is Amazon who is 15% vat, based in Luxembourg.

    Profits and tax question

    no bob, i thought when i get nearer to the 79k i would do it then, or do i need to act before? is there any benefits in being vat registered? for example i buy something for £1 and pay £1.20 inc vat, do i claim the 20p back?
