    VAT owed

    Is VAT owed on the invoices I issue or the invoices that are paid/money that comes into my bank account? I have some customers that I gave credit to who now don't look like they are going to pay. Do I still have to pay VAT on these? Thanks

    P & L

    Hi All, I'm doing a forecast P & L for a business plan. Do I include start-up costs in the year 1 P&L numbers? Or is a P&L just a statement of what profit is made in that trading year. Whether I include start-up costs also affects what VAT is recorded in that year e.g. VAT return on start-up...
