I have just read the weekly bulliten re VAT and exports and strangely enough I had a case this week of doing a sales invoice for goods to a non vat reg company in Southern Ireland. We did not charge vat but as they are not a registered business I am now thinking perhaps this was the wrong thing to do. Anyone...

Hi all, Apologies for this basic query, but as usual, I am confused. How should I account for the following: - Customer transfers £1,000 into our bank account for use as a cash float - We withdraw £1,000 cash from the bank account, which we use some or all of to cover on the job expenses for the client. - We r...

Anyway, I have been investigated for this year as they say my expens...
