Hello, - after a couple of months of trading as a limited company I got an accountant. I then asked the accounts to register me for the fixed rate VAT scheme and this was done voluntary at this point as my turnover was not over the threshold.
I have now got my VAT certificate and the effective date on the certificate shows the same date as I incorporated the company (september'14). This was not the instructions that I gave to my accountant.
They have now told me that this was the date that HMRC chose for me (??!!). I believe that this is error made by the accountants and they they should sort this out for me. Due to the nature of my business I cannot go back now and bill clients for project that have done in the months before I asked them to register me (I asked them to register me in mid December'14). We are talking about ~£25k during this period.
Has anyone else had this happen to them? What do I do? Help...
