    Yup, including stuff you put through your books as an expense rather than a capital asset, as its capital expenditure as per VAT rules, not accounting rules. And of course, to claim the VAT in the first place on the FRS it would have to be capital expenditure...

    Unfortunately capital expenditure doesn't qualify. It will be very hard for contractors to qualify to remain on the flat rate scheme.

    There is currently an 8 week consultation period, which an update is hopeful after 8 March to clarify what expenditure qualifies.
