As I look ahead, I am filled with foreboding; like the Roman, I seem to see "the River Tiber foaming with much blood." -

if you're on flat rate you receive 2000 VAT from the agency or your client and you pay 1650 to HMRC VAT
so you keep 350 in your pocket over which you pay 20% corporation tax which leave you with 280 Nett in your pocket
If you're not on a flat rate you pay the full 2000 to HMRC minus whatever VAT you paid to others and zero in your pocket so to go on full VAT rate is only profitable if you're expenses are £1400+VAT or over else you should stay on flat rate.
Edit: 5 times, the answer is 5 times.Comment

I've just calculated and my net profits are down £7200pa now due to the new flat rate scheme. Which equates to circa 5k a year net in my pocket - which is a lot of money.
This with the increased in divi taxes mean that there is less than £100 a month difference between the a LTD and umbrella.
With the looming IR35 policy changes, it's not worth it anymore. The heydays are over.
I can't see our accountants rushing to disclose this information...Comment
