<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>It may not be easy to sustain a station on much
less than £50k total (though we do), but bear in mind that grant and donation
income, and wages expenditure are 'non-business' items outside the scope of
VAT, so don't count towards the threshold, which is based on your supply of
goods and services to others in the course of business. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Wages are often the largest outgoing for a
small community station. It is quite possible to be running a station
whose business outputs that are within the scope of VAT are well below
the threshold. Equally this is why it is possible for such a station to be
a net recipient of VAT repayment.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>You are only forced to register for VAT if your
supply of goods and services by way of regular business exceeds £70,000 per
annum, not your total turnover or ocaasional activities not falling within the
meaning of business.</FONT></DIV>

! I have spotted something here
of course the
discussion is about V.A.T.
and Jaqui mentions the extra admin and the
hassle (we should be all use to it by now
anyway) but, the interesting fact is
this (as Rolf Harris would say have you guessed what it is
yet?)
Jaqui mentions near the threshold or
not
my observation is this
.. if you aint anywhere near the threshold and
trust me
this last 12 months we have really slipped away from that
threshold may I ask the question ?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
