I am currently preparing my first vat return and am a little stuck. . .
we are a business based on 3 shops and the magical tills we purchased have stopped working so I am unable to find the exact amount of vat charged to customers.
is it ok to find the amount paid in vat for the things we are selling on with minus 10% for wastage, plus 40% mark-up??
Suggest that if you are selling vatable & non- vatable products and your tills have packed in then you have a look at the "apportionment scheme" on the VAT website.
