I am currently having a window in my office repaired, and the bloke said 'if you pay cash I won't charge you VAT', which means I won't get a VAT reciept and can't put it through my books.
They try to make you think they are doing you a favour, but they are the only one that makes out of it as they don't have toput it through their books.....

And so you say 'Sorry, but it needs to go through my books, so put the VAT on.'
I don't see where there's a problem?

The company I work for gets inspected at least once a year by the VAT office, and they go through everything, all petty cash, sales invoices, purchases invoices etc and make you feel about 1" tall and that you have been up to no good whilst they do it
If you want a reciept ask for one and make sure you get it.

If you are doing work for Joe Public then yes, it will be cheaper for them if you don't add the 17.5% VAT. However, most companies will be VAT registered and will be able to claim the VAT back from the Inland Revenue anyway so the only person you are doing a favour, in those circumstances, is yourself.

The Inland Revenue don't collect the vat - Customs and Excise do.
Duh, I knew that, I fill a mountain of returns in every month.
ops: :oops: On a side issue, aren't they supposed to be merging soon anyway?Hopefully they will merge yes.
Preferably at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean !
:lol: :lol: Barstewards ! Bane of my life!
LOL, yup, that they are. We have 1 little Joint Venture company that very little goes through yet they insist every year on doing a VAT inspection on it. We have around 20 other JV's that they've never inspected in all the years I have been with the company.

i chose to opt out of that VaAT scam, best way imo

the majority of my work is for joe public who as i mentioned earlier always ask me if they can pay by cash minus the VAT and i always do this .P.S the customer is always right .
if it is a job for a business or a company the they always get a bill with vat and my vat No attached to it .
now here is a small little fact every self employed builder/tradesman does this .
