Pocketing a little extra

Exploiting the rules to maximum advantage

Our client is the sole proprietor of a recently established small courier business.

He has only a few customers and makes what he considers to be just enough to meet his needs. More would be nice, but new business doesn't come easily to new start-ups.

Like many who believe they are too small to be even registered for VAT, we came up with a method of boosting his hard earned profits with minimal cost to himself.

By legitimately exploiting little used VAT rules, we were able to register him for VAT, have him join a special Government VAT scheme for small businesses, adding to his business profits and, even better, all without extra costs for his customers.

Results: Over £2,700 plus in additional yearly profits and all with the blessing of the Government. Client delighted and now making plans to spend his new found wealth.
