Hi all,
I am about to enter the contracting world, currently trying to set everything up with the help of my accountant.
One of the things he proposed to me is to be in a Flat Rate Scheme, but she did not really asked me any questions before advising to go for it, so I just wanted to know a third opinion before giving her my final answer.
My case is: IT contractor, specialised in web front-end development which recently got an opportunity to work in a contract for 6 months at a rate of £400 p.d.
Since I just started with this I had to buy some brand new equipment: laptop, phone, SIM cards, etc.
Is it a good idea to go for a flat rate or should I opt for a standard VAT scheme?
Thanks in advance.
