I prefer my kittens in a pie. It's when their mewls get muffled by the
pastry that really makes me smile ;-0

Hi, 

In terms of accounting packages you might want to look at some of the online
accounting services that have sprung over the past year. Xero.com
<http://xero.com/>  seems to be the most popular and one that we are just
about to start using (finally we get to move away from the ridiculous Sage).

VAT - from a pricing strategy point of view it depends who your audience is.
If you are consumer facing then charge everyone VAT and then take the profit
for those territories where it isn't applied. It would at least be
consistent. If you don't increase your prices you are effectively increasing
your costs as you try to absorb the VAT that you will have to pay.

For the technicalities I would always listen to my accountant. We charge the
VAT based on client location. So for our North American clients we charge
VAT at 0%. For Europe it depends - it can be done on a marginal scheme or
not charged at all - it's always a bit trickier and not so cut and dried.

In terms of applying to become registered my understanding is that you have
to apply when you predict you will exceed the current threshold in the next
quarter.

There are lot of benefits to be VAT registered - it was a no brainer for us
- your office rent becomes cheaper for one!

Regards,

- Alan

Hello Chinwaggers, 

We're beginning to get close to the VAT threshold, so we're having to
consider thorny issues of pricing.

But there are other questions too, you might have some advice to share?

Book-keeping

I currently run our book-keeping on Google Docs. Now might be a good time to
swap to something like Quickbooks.

Any suggestions on accounting software, preferably free software?

Rules

When should we apply VAT and when shouldn't we? Our accountant has advised
the preferred rules are to apply VAT only to sales to UK residents, but that
HMRC sometimes take a different view and to check. I guess the budget
announcement makes this preference law? viz:

""As announced at budget 2013, the government will legislate to change the
rules for the taxation of intra-EU business to consumer supplies of
telecommunications, broadcasting and e-services. From 1 January 2015 these
services will be taxed in the member state in which the consumer is located,
ensuring these are taxed fairly and helping to protect revenue."

Any advice from anyone on how to easily spot where your blumming customers
live? We use Paypal & Paypoint.

Any other words of wisdom on the headaches & otherwise of becoming a fully
fledged VAT registered company

Many thanks all, as ever :)

Caroline
