Help! My accountant has ijust done my books for last year(up to Apri 5) and informed me that we crossed the VAT threshold and will have to become VAT registered. Not only that but that I’ll have to pay VAT on all the jobs we’ve done since crossing the threshold. Obviously I haven’t charged anyone VAT as I was unaware we had crossed the threshold until now and would have to find the money myself as well as my own income tax. Is this correct? Is there any leeway? Being VAT registered alone could hurt my business as almost all my clients are domestic jobs.
Thanks
Rick
