Do I charge VAT?

Question

Our company isn't VAT registered yet but will be in a few months. I need to invoice a VAT registered company for services. Do I charge them VAT or not? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Mark the invoice with 'VAT registration pending' and just bill for the net amount, do not add VAT. When you get your VAT registration number, if the start date of the registration (they can back date it) is on or before the invoice date, then send another invoice to the company for the additional VAT.

Answer 2

Not until you are VAT registered and have a number to prove it.

I hope you enjoy being an unpaid tax collector ;-)

Answer 3

yes because you could get back tracked and asked to pay vat. if not, it's a little extra in your pocket

Answer 4

It Depends on the company Big or Small and all of the circomstances..... sory about spelling mistakes lol
