Reply to: Amazon purchases for flat rate VAT scheme

[cojak]

I did some obvious calculations to see at which point is it worth going over 2k to get the VAT back and it's obviously ca 1600 mark.
In the end I got a 13" MBP for 800 squids + 150 for an SSD and I'm using that for over a year now.

SO don't spend money just to spend it! Especially if you already have one Apple laptop FFS...

No, I'm just getting the Crucial SSD, I've already got the MBP.

From Apple, as it happens.

I intend upgrading my MBP with Crucial, but I accept that I won't get the VAT back on it. (I'm actually holding off this purchase until I review my FRS next month, I may consider going back to the usual VAT if I think I'm losing money on it).

From amazon, or form somewhere else?

Which is a company asset? It better be if you're going to start upgrading it using company money.

It's fine as long as you get a single invoice for £2000+

I bought MBP+IPad2 last year under FRS from Apple. But apple is so over priced, especially for upgrades..

Yep, I'm with your accountant on this - I got mine all on a single invoice.

My experience is that you get separate invoices from amazon. The invoice must be a VAT invoice showing a valid VAT number for the whole value. This can not be spread across multiple suppliers with multiple VAT numbers

Where is that ssd going as it won't go into the MacBook air plus you probably should go for a crucial drive ocz seem to get a fair few bad reviews

I can see what you are doing but this purchase seems to be for the sake of it rather than as a sensible investment with clear purpose

SSD is for my mac book pro.

That's a pretty expensive smidge. What colour was it ?

I'm sure NLUK will be along to tell you that a smidge cannot be purchased as a business expense

Buffed aluminium (and it smelt nice.. ),

I don't think people trafficing is allowed as an expense...

Smidge 39 up, 52 down
A person, usualy female, short in stature, but large in heart. Also, smidges are usually very beautiful.
My smidge is the sweetest person I know

WEveryoneS.

I've recently made an IT purchase (from whom doesn't matter), the biggest single item was a smidge over 2k. That's what got me over the FRS mark (although had I got a monitor with it that would have been included as well, I think).
