No, but you might want to add that although it's now 15% it'll probably be 20% in the very near future!!!!!! Good luck. ;D

Even if it is likely to change in the future. I would look into the flat rate scheme as this is more cost effective for small businesses.

How do customers take it when they are asked to pay VAT? I'm expecting to have to absorb most of the cost on my domestic round. A sudden 17.5% increase seems a bit much? Maybe pass on 10% to them, absorb the other 7.5?
