It's 72k at time of this post.

From the link I posted: "If you're in business, you must register for VAT if your VAT taxable turnover for the previous 12 months is more than £73,000."

And I'm wrong?

[richywilts]

Well done for all the hard work of getting the database sorted!
Don't take this wrong Richy, but you have stated on her a few times, you don't like the "actual" work bit, so think you have already answered your own question
Also, because you will HAVE to man the office, do the admin, quotes etc, etc, this will get you used to it and you will eventually feel more in control of YOUR business and may even get to like that sort of work
Taking an average of your daily gross income you will be on approx £62000.00 gross income per year. Minus the £18000.00 staff wage and then normal overheads and tax.........will that be enough for you to to live on, make a nice profit and take your business forward? I think not, but as I have said before, why not carry on like this for a year and then decide where you want to go with it.

Helen I actually enjoy the window cleaning I don't enjoy the driving round being messed around by customers

what a tool

[Helen]

Really Helen, ok.

I know many who turn over over 72 k and don't declare it,

That's cos they haven't reached the £73k threshold

and you can't fire me, I am self employed

[Nameless Drudge]

Forgetting your "jokey" comment of hiding it
Vat is based on your gross income full stop. Not on gross income minus overheads (re-invest in near equipment), but my instinct tells me you know that
It's £73k by the way (or at least until the next budget, when it's rumoured it's coming down to £61k)

Bit more info required here Helen,WHERE ARE THE RUMOURS COMING FROM AND DO THEY HAVE ANY SUBSTANCE WHATSOEVER?

[William McCafferty]

I have heard similar information, I go to quite a few networking events and meet people who have mentioned this as well as others things the goverment are thinking about.

At the moment nothing is set in stone, but as far as the goverment is concerned nothing has been ruled out.

vat, is something both goverments wanted to play with for years but they could not take the risk, but they raised the vat limit by 2 percent and got away with it.

By lowering the therehold or bringing more goods and services into the vat limits is something they cannot afford not to look at, they need to get money to pay off this countries debts and pay for an every increasing population.

So for the next 2 budgets be prepared for anything.

Likewise.
Also our accountant is on the ball and there are very many different ways the government is looking of reducing this national debt, not only with Vat

61K sounds very specific and more than just rumour.

Its not hard to justify a rumour like this,something yourself and pure hydro have just done but what about a bit of evidence.

There isn`t anything of substance here for me to dare repeat any of this without inviting ridicule.

[William McCafferty]

I heard on the grapevine, some time ago that the goverment was thinking of raising the vat limit from 17.5%.

I mentioned it on some forums and was told piffle. it won't happen, well it did.

There are a lot of rumours doing the networking circuits, from the tax man doing clamp downs on small businesses to various changes to tax rates.

are they rumours, yes, will they come true, who knows, should we listen and plan for them, why not.

[William McCafferty]

You will also find that the policys groups who come up with this stuff, leak a lot of it, to see what reactions comes back.

They then make their recommendations, the goverment can always deny or confirm on the reaction it recieves.

For instance, the next fuel increase in the autumn, will it happen or not? the goverment has said YES but if they don't do it, it might distract attention from what they do do.

Nothing is real or true polictics until after it has happened.

Evidence can only come when whovever starts to bring it AND MANY OTHER CONSIDERED THINGS into force. I've justified my comment by saying my on the ball accountant has mentioned it (61K is the figure he had quoted to him).......mentioned along with a load of other things that are being contemplated by HMRC/government whatever, in order that we are aware of what MAY happen and be ready to deal with it. Vat was mentioned on the Andrew Marr show this morning in conversation. Ref reducing the rate of 20%. As they stated it is one way of easing the financial burden on the general public, but it may not happen but it was part of a big conversation about the still failing english economy
