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
