    We currently pay our vat once a quarter on all sales and purchases. Can anyone tell me what scheme that makes us on? Ta
    It is unwise to pay too much but it's worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, all you lose is a little money... that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot...it can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better (John Ruskin - 19 ctry author, art critic & social reformer)

    thanks one and all. if you are close to the VAT limit as an LTD can you receive payment direct to yourself from clients and account for it on your annual tax return?

    I am about £58k in my LTD and I have one client which I will invoice for £5k. I was wondering if payment could be made to me.

  • If you capture data for the quarter based on what is on till rolls or sales invoices and purchase invoices and go by the date on the document, you are on Date of Invoice or Accrual Accounting (standard accounting basically).

    If you capture data based on when you pay or are paid, you're on Cash Accounting.

    If you are a retailer, there are a number of schemes available. Check it out at https://www.hmrc.gov.uk and look for the publications library. Look for retail schemes.
