You can register yourself for VAT regardless of whether you cross the threshold or not.

you would be lucky to take anything yourself !!

I know the VAT threshold is £68K.
When do you need to inform the inland revenue?
Is it once you have gained £68K or your forecast will reach £68K for the year?
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.





Matt

I understand that if the  £68k is achieved in ANY 12 consecutive mnonths then registration becomes compulsory.  The 12 months don't have to be in the same accounting year.  Also, if you exceed a quarter of the annual threshold level in a three month period there can be issues - unless you can show that it was a major blip.  Not sure about needing to inform in those circumstances.
Knowing what I now know, I would have gone VAT registered at the very beginning in '91.  The trouble was that computerisation wasn't really around so much then - at least not at an affordable price.  I've never come close to the VAT threshold but it would be nice to have it in place in case I ever decide to head that way.

You have to register b4 you hit has they will be expecting vat and if you haven't added it you will have to pay for it, I'm sure they would rather you do it on forecast or well b4 but I would say leave it till as late as poss.

65-66k mayb

Just for the record:

Whats wrong with £5.00 ?? ???


I know quite afew window cleaners charging £4 - £5 amounts for terraced houses, who earn serious money, and i mean big amounts !


I think in this day and age, people forget about the small paying houses.

A good traditional window cleaner can easily clean 50 terraced houses a day, on a compact round.

I'm out there no-matter if its raining hard, you kind of get used to it. I've been running my own business 19 years & cannot remember losing a customer just because its raining.

So 50 terraced houses a day @ £4.00 over a 5 day period = £1,000.00 per week.

So imagine, some window cleaners have 10 lads working for them - £10,000.00 per week

Now we are getting into big money just cleaning terraced houses, no wonder you cannot buy a good compact window round at the moment in the north west.

50 custies per day X 5 day working week is 250 X 4 week month = 1000 custies

I would be happy doing half that by the way  ;)

I think 20 customers per day at £10 per customer is very achievable.

20 custies, at £10 is being achieved and more by lots of wc....

the reason the doubters will never achieve is because of their negative attitude ;D

Theres one on window cleaning resources for 30,000 :)

3k   a month tunover i think

and yeah i have a day a week on 4-5 -6£ houses and easy do 2ton on them without breaking sweat :) thats trad
theyre going up in jan to £5 then i will be laughing, some of the newer ones and monthlies are £6 its good work sometimes upto £50 an hour where its really really compact and priced a little higher for monthly


20 a day at a £10 is the minimum/or at least target- i would expect any wc to be achieving with 3 beds semis in most areas :)
