theres a flat rate vat scheme for VAT which is what I am on.
You charge the 20% vat on everything, but you cant reclaim your vat. Instead your rate might be set at 10%.
So of the 20% vat you collect on behalf of HRMC, you pay them the 10%
Photography is set to 11% (but a 1% extra discount in the first year)
http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/vat/start/schemes/flat-rate.htmIts great if you have minimum outgoings & only income. Not worth the hassle on a few hundred a year though.
What is good though, if you spent £2000 in a single invoice (can be multiple purchases), you can claim the VAT back.
Just set a sole-trader account up & invoice them in that company name.
