What is the difference or benefits of being VAT registered vs not being VAT registered?

Businesses are legally required to become VAT registered once they hit a certain threshold of annual turnover (£85,000 per annum).

If you are VAT registered:
• The amounts quoted by the system must be treated as VAT inclusive.
• You can then claim back the VAT charged on our commission as well as on parts.

If you are not VAT registered:
• You do not include VAT within the amount charged
• You can’t reclaim VAT on your costs
