Vat registered or not !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im vat registered & find it to my advantage as I can claim back the 20% off each fuel bill , all the poles & stuff I buy, clothes etc & even the van I lease I get the vat back which is a great advantage to me but Im guessing alot on here dont do mainly commercial of which doing alot of houses is alot of cash where yous dont declare majority of it so therefore yous wouldnt have enough passing thru your books to be vat registered .............................
