    Dilemma: Declaring gross income or net income with cash basis method

    Dilemma: Declaring gross income or net income with cash basis method

    Many thanks! Oh no, the old invoices I'm talking about are between me and the agency. With the new system they will be between me and the client. Does the calculation for VAT change if I'm accounting with the cash basis method? At the moment I'm light years behind the VAT threshold even with...

    Dilemma: Declaring gross income or net income with cash basis method

    Dilemma: Declaring gross income or net income with cash basis method

    Hi, I'm an artist represented by an agency that takes 35% of my earnings. Up to now the agency invoiced the client for the full amount of the project and then I invoiced the agency for my cut (so total £- 35% commission). I have no record of the full £ in my invoices or anywhere else, my...
