Wording on invoice when no VAT reg yet?

[Bluebird]

If the agency don't pay - report them to HMRC - after all it's their money not yours

Hi I have just registered for VAT as well (start period 01/June/07 to 31/Aug/07).

Do I send a single VAT invoice to cover all the weeks(/invoice numbers) in this period or Do I create create weekly VAT invoices to tieup with my original weekly Invoices ?


what happens if Agency refuses to pay?

You can do it all on one invoice, provide the invoice numbers that they apply to.

If you invoiced with a VAT registration pending, and put that on the invoice, then the agency must pay you.

Hi Ruth,

I just put:

VAT Registration Pending.

Seperate VAT Invoice to follow upon Registration.

Then you get the pleasure of sending another invoice for all the outstanding VAT. I just referenced the previous invoice numbers (Invoice 001 - dd/mm/yy - for £x = £y VAT due) which if you have registered for the FRS scheme includes a nice little turn of profit as well.

Cheers,
Alan

Title says it all really. I need to raise my first ever invoice on Firday for my brand new Ltd Company, on my first ever contract

I gather that whilst VAT reg is pending, I should invoice with out VAT and then raise a VAT only invoice when I have my registration.

Do I need to state something about this on my first invoices that are without VAT to show that there will be a VAT only invoice in the future?

Thanks
Ruth

Yes you do. You put something like "VAT Registration Pending" in the space where your VAT number will eventually go. Only if you have actually submitted the VAT application though.
