I just wanted to check my understanding (or lack) of how the VAT flat rate scheme works ...
If say I invoice a client for £1000 + VAT at 17.5%, total invoice is £1175.
Now when it comes to VAT return time, if I'm registered to pay 13% on the FRS, is the amount of VAT the following:
1. 13% of £1000 = £130
or
2. 13% of £1175 = £152.75
If it's the second way, then I guess the FRS isn't as advantageous as I had first thought ... doh!
