What £100,000 looks like with and without VAT
£100,000 is contract money: a large order, a vehicle, a fit-out or a year's fees for a single client. Add 20% and the invoice total is £120,000.00, with £20,000.00 of VAT that the customer pays to you and you pay to HMRC on your next return. Because the sums are large, the timing matters: if the invoice date falls just inside a VAT quarter you may owe the £20,000.00 before the customer has paid you, unless you use cash accounting.
Strip the VAT out of £100,000 and you get £83,333.33 net plus £16,666.67 VAT. That is the calculation to use when a supplier quotes an all-in price and you need the net cost for a budget or a capital allowances claim. At the 5% reduced rate the VAT inside £100,000 would be £4,761.90, and at 0% the whole £100,000 is net.
Turnover at this level also puts VAT registration in view. The threshold is £90,000 of taxable turnover in any rolling 12 month period, so £100,000 of sales is already past the point where you must register, and the deregistration limit is £88,000. Once registered you charge 20% on standard-rated sales, which for £100,000 means £20,000.00 on top of your prices, or £16,666.67 absorbed inside them if you cannot raise prices.
