    Theres absolutely nothing wrong with paying with a cheque. It's not up to a customer to decide whether someone pays their taxes.

    Thats just plain ridiculous.

    Do you know how VAT works?

    If trading unregistered, you pay VAT on materials so by default when you charge the customer for them it includes VAT.

    I'm perfectly aware how VAT works.

    Yes, if trading unregistered for VAT you are liable for any VAT costs you incur and cannot claim it back; it doesn't change the truth of what i said.

    If your turnover is below 35k a small business/self-employed person does not have to charge VAT.

    Fair enough, I wasn't having a go at you, I was just unsure.

    I think the law is that you can choose to register for VAT is your turnover is below the threshold. If you are not VAT registeered you cannot charge VAT.

    OK all, this is the Consumer Issues forum, not the small business/tradesman forum, so please respect that.
