Keep under the VAT threshold
Small British firms try to avoid VAT registration, and you can see why, says The Schmidt Report. If your customers are mainly members of the public, you become far more costly once your turnover exceeds £67,000, the point at which you have to register for VAT.
Adding 17.5% to your prices usually means either your customers go elsewhere, or you have to drop your prices. In practice, this means £1 in extra turnover can end up costing your bottom line up to about £10,000.
A loophole to avoid this is the technique of business splitting. Every person or company in business has its own VAT registration threshold. So if a husband and wife run a pub, the husband, typically, is VAT-registered for 'wet sales', while the wife runs the 'separate' business of doing the food.
You do need to split the businesses properly (eg, keep separate sets of accounts; have different premises, if possible; invoice for proportions of shared overheads, etc). But even if the VAT man knocks your scheme on its head, he can't act retrospectively, so you "are still likely to have got away with it for a period".

Flat rate scheme
This scheme is designed to reduce the cost of complying with VAT obligations by simplifying the way small businesses calculate their VAT. It is available to businesses who expect their VAT exclusive turnover in the next 12 months to be no more than £150,000 in taxable supplies.
Taxable supplies are calculated by looking at the total of supplies at the positive and zero rates, excluding VAT and the value of any capital assets expected to be sold. Total business income includes taxable supplies and the value of exempt and other non-taxable income.
A business must leave the scheme arises when turnover increases to £225,000
The flat rate scheme saves time by removing the need to calculate and record output tax and input tax in calculating the net VAT due to HM Revenue & Customs. The VAT in a period is calculated by applying the flat rate percentage to the tax inclusive turnover for the period. However, the flat rate rate scheme can cost extra VAT if you make supplies which are exempt from VAT as flat rate VAT will be payable on the value of all supplies made, including exempt supplies.
HM Revenue & Customs has published a table showing rates applicable to many business sectors. Some examples are:
Retail of food, newspapers, confectionery 2
Retail of vehicles or fuel 5.5
Photography 8.5
Estate agency 9.5
Hairdressing 10.5
Legal services 12
Computer and IT consultancy 11.5
The flat rate to be used depends on which trade sector most accurately reflects any particular business. If a business includes supplies in two or more sectors, the percentage to be used is that appropriate to the main business activity as measured by expected turnover in the year ahead.
If you are making supplies to other VAT registered businesses, you give them a VAT invoice charging VAT at the normal rate for the supply (not the flat rate percentage).
Most traders with qualifying turnover are eligible to join the scheme, but there are a number of exclusions designed to prevent abuse of the scheme as well as a few to avoid complex interaction with other schemes. The scheme is optional, but traders wishing to join should complete Form VAT 600 (FRS) (which can be printed off the HMRC website at www.hmrc.gov.uk).

It is unlikely that the temporary reduction in the standard rate of VAT will be extended
It is unlikely that the temporary reduction in the standard rate of VAT will be extended beyond the end of the year after it was revealed that tax revenues have fallen sharply.
In July, the government borrowed £8 billion, during a month when the tax take is usually at a high.
Although the government has already predicted a public finance deficit of £175 billion for the current year, some analysts are forecasting a gap of as big as £200 billion.
Against the backdrop of a significant deterioration in state finances, the Treasury moved to re-affirm that the VAT cut, which saw the standard rate drop from 17.5 per cent to 15 per cent, will lapse, as planned, on 1 January.
For this year, the VAT reduction will end up costing the government some £12 billion in revenue.
A number of business groups have been lobbying for an extension to the reversion to the old rate or at least a delay in its timing.
But it is thought the Chancellor, Alistair Darling will give greater weight to concerns over the scale of the UK’s debt among the international money markets.
Figures from the Office for National Statistics revealed that VAT receipts for July were down 33.8 per cent on the same period last year.
Other business taxes have declined as well. Corporation tax yielded the exchequer 37.9 per cent less than a year ago, slumping to £6.3 billion as a result of diminishing profits, while income from National Insurance contributions also fell
