Window Cleaning Forum / Re: Non Vat Company stating VAT is in the price
« Last post by Spruce on Yesterday at 11:03:25 pm »The only time one can use vat included phrase when they on fixed lower threshold of vat. It’s illegal to have this wording under any other circumstances. Vat number must be on paperwork clearly visible. This really frowned upon and they can have book thrown at easily.
Point this out to customer as if they are misrepresenting themselves in that way what else they are not telling… it’s illegal to charge vat if not registered
I would expect him not to issue an invoice. If he did it will just be for the full quoted price as a single figure.
Ie. Roof cleaning as required £10.50, total £10.50.
He would possibly also ask for cash and not write out a receipt.
However, one of the local window cleaners was vat registered even although his turnover didn't require him to be vat registered.
It could be that this chap has registered for vat, but hasn't presented his quote correctly. I would certainly give the 'pot a stir' and sow a few seeds of doubt in her mind.
One of my customers had a cleaner knock on their door. £5 a clean. My comment was at that price, is he looking for an opportunity to see what you own to burgle you? Nothing wrong sowing seeds of doubt.
