    If you are in your first year of VAT registration, you also get a 1% discount on that rate as well.

    which catches a lot of noobs out

    so if your invoice is for £1000, you charge £200 vat = 1200

    you pay the vat man 14.5% of 1200 = £174

    then you pay ct on the £26 profit

    which is why the frs only makes a you few hundred a year


    But this is 2.6% - so whilst that sounds small change, if you are charging out at £80K, then this is £2080 a year - quite a tidy sum for doing nothing.

    FRS will make you a couple of hundred quid a year, plus its slightly easier to administer.
    Proper contractors dont do expenses
