What £150,000 looks like with and without VAT
£150,000 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 £180,000.00, with £30,000.00 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 £30,000.00 before the customer has paid you, unless you use cash accounting.
Strip the VAT out of £150,000 and you get £125,000.00 net plus £25,000.00 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 £150,000 would be £7,142.86, and at 0% the whole £150,000 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 £150,000 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 £150,000 means £30,000.00 on top of your prices, or £25,000.00 absorbed inside them if you cannot raise prices.
