参考答案和解析
正确答案: (b) Advice on Maureen’s VAT position Deregistration In order to voluntarily deregister for VAT you must satisfy HMRC that the value of your taxable supplies in the next twelve months will not exceed £62,000. You will then be deregistered with effect from the date of your request or a later date as agreed with HMRC. On deregistering you are regarded as making a supply of all stocks and equipment in respect of which input tax has been claimed. However, the VAT on this deemed supply need only be paid to HMRC if it exceeds £1,000. Once you have deregistered, you must no longer charge VAT on your sales. You will also be unable to recover the input tax on the costs incurred by your business. Instead, the VAT you pay on your costs will be allowable when computing your taxable profits. You should monitor your sales on a monthly basis; if your sales in a twelve-month period exceed £64,000 you must notify HMRC within the 30 days following the end of the twelve-month period. You will be registered from the end of the month following the end of the twelve-month period. Flat rate scheme Rather than deregistering you may wish to consider operating the flat rate scheme. This would reduce the amount of administration as you would no longer need to record and claim input tax in respect of the costs incurred by your business. Under the flat rate scheme you would continue to charge your customers VAT in the way that you do at the moment. You would then pay HMRC a fixed percentage of your VAT inclusive turnover each quarter rather than calculating output tax less input tax. This may be financially advantageous as compared with deregistering; I would be happy to prepare calculations for you if you wish.
