VAT has become increasingly complex over the years. VAT is a transaction based tax and you will need to get it right at the time a transaction occurs. If you do not ensure that the VAT treatment you apply is correct at the outset, you could face problems. The Government's 'spend to save' policy, involving greater co-operation between HM Customs & Excise and the Inland Revenue, means that you can expect a more vigorous pursuit of underpaid VAT. In fact with the merger of the two departments in April 05, a more aggressive stance by the government is inevitable.
