Flat rate Vat And income tax

[abc-inflatables]

Hi
When filling in my income tax return
Do i record all sales and expenses at gross amounts then deducting flat-rate VAT paid over to HMRC from sales only?

Declare all sales Gross. Charge VAT paid as an expense.

Thankyou for the reply, I dont think i worded my question very good.

What i was trying to say is do you use gross amounts for expences or do you have to take 20% off?

[pawncob]

You can't reclaim the VAT so charge the gross cost of the expense.
