VAT Flat Rate Scheme

The HMRC VAT Flat Rate Scheme for small businesses, including smaller limited companies, has existed for the last 2 decades. It’s a simplification intended to relieve small business owners of some of the administrative burden involved with preparing VAT Returns.

Instead of accounting for input and output VAT, you simply pay a set rate as a percentage of your turnover. This rate varies, depending on what you do. Under the VAT Flat Rate Scheme, the tax you pay is calculated by multiplying your VAT flat rate by your VAT-inclusive turnover.

For example, if you have a turnover of £10,000 and a flat rate of 10%, you would pay a flat rate of £1,000 (10% of £10,000). Your flat rate is set according to the type of business you run and how much you spend on goods. However, all businesses get a 1% discount in the first year they’re registered for VAT.

With the Flat Rate Scheme, businesses keep the difference between the amount of VAT paid to HMRC and the amount of VAT paid by customers.
