One more for Whirlybird.....
The VAT man says one must register for tax in order to claim back services purchased for your 'business' and that you must then charge VAT yourself when selling your services.
Therefore my question is: when a student pays the school for his lesson, does the school charge the VAT or the instructor and how does the whole VAT aspect work for the instructor in these circumstances? Someone here commented that the vast majority of instructors work self-employed and are called upon as and when a school needs them, is this correct?
Obviously, I'm keen not to incur the wrath of the VAT man through ignorance!
Thank you for your time,
VFE.
