I am posing this on behalf of a friend as I know there are a great many knowledgeable members on the forum.
We have a friend who is an "Artisan baker" mainly producing specialist cakes.
She thinks it would be useful to voluntarily register for VAT as she is looking to lease a van through her business . Unfortunately her accountant is pretty useless and with pressure of work and two sick parents does not have a great deal of time to fully investigate at the moment.
What she would like to know is:
Can registration be backdated an if so by how much?
Can VAT be reclaimed on goods etc bought in without charging for it on sales?
How often must accounts be submitted?
Thanks in advance.
