Assume a flat rate percenatge of 12%… and sales of $80000 where $30000 is zero rated… what is the differences if sales were exclusive of VAT and inclusive? Assume Vat of standard rated sales $8750… Do we do 12% of 80000 and add with 8750 for exclusive of Vat and only 12% of $80000 for inclusive of Vat when calculating flat rate?
We multiply the percentage by the total VAT inclusive sales (standard, zero and exempt) with no deduction for input VAT In your example 12% x (80000 x 1.2 + 30000)=15120 Please use £ not $ as the exam is in £ Hope this helps
