Benefits
The flat rate scheme will smooth your cashflow as you will know what VAT you need to pay on your takings.
You don’t have to record the VAT you charge on every sale and purchase, reducing the time spent on the books.
If you are in your first year of VAT registration, there is a first year discount!
There are fewer rules, so less time will be spent on working out what you can and can’t reclaim, also meaning that there will be less chance of mistakes, along with peace of mind that you are doing it right.
How does it work?
With the flat rate scheme, a set percentage is applied to the turnover of the business as a one-off calculation instead of having to identify and record the VAT on each sale and purchase you make. This rate varies depending on the sector in which the business operates. However, the scheme is only advantageous if it does not result in additional VAT liabilities.
