Hi,
I have just set up my company and not VAT registered.
I understand that because of this I don't charge my customer VAT (until I approach £80k turnover and need to register).
My question is if I am buying raw materials from the EU (Czech republic to be specific) will they charge me VAT...
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
I run a website that sells over 2000 products that vary in price. The suppliers that I use regularly change their prices and discontinue product lines. This means my prices in sage become out of date and I send a lot of time imputing new prices (very time consuming). Is there a way to import new...

A strange one here. An investor agreed that he was 100% in; he was putting in 25% of total start-up capital for 20% equity share. Before any money was transferred we set up the company and put this investor as a 20% shareholder and a director (all 4 investors are down as directors)...

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...
Hi All,
I understand VAT is paid at the end of each quarter. I am currently doing a cash flow and there is a time lag of 1 month from when the sale is made to when money is received. When working out quarterly VAT on sales, do I use when the sale is made or when the money is received - the...

Hi,

Do I:-
- Pay 20% of alcohol revenues to the tax man.
