Hi,
I've recently incorporated my company as I've got a 6 month contract through an agency. My daily rate is £300 so by my reckoning on the flat vat rate I'd be charging out £39,000 plus vat of £7,800.
Against this my vat rate would be 12% but in the first year 11% so the flat vat payable would be £4,290.
In this transaction, i could potentially be better off by £3,510.
By going down this route I wouldn't be able to claim vat on purchases. As I understand it, I could claim 40p per mile on petrol and with a daily commute of 38 miles I could be sacrificing £1,976 if I go via the flat vat rate.
I also have a car lease, I'm not sure if this Could count towards the purchases at all?
In short, I'm weighing up whether the flat rate is the best route.
Does anyone have any advice on this?
Thanks, please excuse if any of the above is wildly incorrect!
