VAT Increase from 4 January 2011

The new 20% standard rate applies to goods or services to be delivered or performed on or after 4 January 2011. Anti-forestalling rules will apply to artificial arrangements involving a VAT invoice being issued, or payment being made in advance, where the goods or services are not due to be delivered or performed until on or after 4 January 2011.

Flat rate scheme - The percentages are recalculated to reflect the VAT increase to 20%. The new rates need careful scrutiny. This scheme is available to a VAT-registered business with annual turnover up to £150,000.
