Maybe I have explained very clearly, sorry!
My client was already trading as a sole trader below the VAT threshold limit for approx 18 months.
They decided they would like to voluntarily register for Vat and adopt the Flat rate scheme, and account for VAT on the cash basis.
They chose 1st September as their registration date and so have been charging VAT on all of their invoices since then.
For their first VAT return, which is for the month of September, their bankings for the month were mainly August invoices being paid (which had not had VAT charged on them as this was before their VAT reg date) with just a couple of September invoices (which do include VAT) being banked at the end of the month.
So I am just trying to find clarification of whether I need to apply the FRS % to their total bankings in September, or whether I only apply it to the few that were VATable invoices (ie. invoiced in September)
Based on an answer to a similar question I just found on here after posting my original question, where someone said "
Cash Accounting only makes you account for VAT on taxable supplies, a supply isn't taxable if you weren't registered and so no VAT to acount for"... my feeling is that the August invoices aren't taxable and so can be omitted from the VAT return . But I am happy to be proved wrong if anyone can point me to some guidance that clarifies this. I have searched and searched but cannot find an answer!
Thanks so much for your replies
