Freelance Invoicing Question

[MonkieMann]

Hey All,

I'm just wondering if anyone here does a bit of freelance webdesign?

The reason I'm asking is, I have done a website for someone, and they are wanting to put it through their business, however seeing as I do not have a company I can not include vat on my invoice (or at least i think), would this cause any problems? do I have to tell someone (government, etc).

Just wondering how you handle your invoices?

The total for the website is about £400

Cheers in advance,

Munkey

No you can just create an invoice and send them it, but as you say you can't charge VAT.

You don't need to inform the VAT man or anything until you earning something like £60K/year.

Erm, 60k tax free? I dont know, but I cant see that being correct.

Yes, the threshold before it's compulsary to be VAT registered is about £60K. Still got to pay income tax, but don't have to increase your prices by 17.5% until you're above the threshold.

Thankyou for your comments, I'll just send an invoice without VAT, and hope everything goes okay.

Thanks again
