puntosaurus,
Just want to check (im in a similar situation) - You now work for a company, but have reclaimed vat whilst training (what you could).
When you say "until the buisness developes", do you mean: you become self employed eg by a company who "hire" you as an istructor/pilot.
I am currently 3weeks into ATPL studies but not claiming any VAT back, if I claim it now and get it does this mean that within a year of employment I need to have do some self employed work???
Please help here - Confusing, but I think im in your situation a few years back???
