Serious Q: Can someone explain (in clear/basic Engish) [hopefully without links to lengthy documentation, & without the usual sarcasm please from certain quarters] what the impact is of these expected changes please?
As Ltd Co, FRS registered, I currently pay 14%, which is to due increase across the board to 16.5%...ok I get that bit.
So, the 'benefit' which I previously gained (6%) will reduce by 2.5% to 3.5%...ok I get that bit too.
There seems to be a link to expenses which is where I'm getting confused: my expenses mainly comprise mileage, parking, myco phone, subsistence, printer consumables etc etc. Could be c.1k/month owing to commuting distance.
I don't make any large purchases as such where I claim the input tax back (are these the items which are in excess of £2k?). I don't think I've ever done that, or felt the need to, in 10 years.
So, with this potted description can someone tell me whether I should stay on FRS, or not, regardless of the planned % increase? I genuinely don't get it, and yes (before that *** comes on) I've asked my accountant but it's by email & he's not fully explaining it to the point where I completely understand.
Thanks.
PS: I did use the search box top right for 'VAT' and also 'FRS', but nothing came up.
