In the United Kingdom there are three alternatives to the standard VAT accounting method:
-
-
- Annual accounting VAT scheme. This is just like the standard VAT accounting method, except that you don't fill in quarterly returns.
- Cash accounting Scheme. Under this scheme you only pay VAT on your actual input and output invoices as they are paid.
-
- Flat rate scheme. Under this scheme, you simply pay a percentage of your total turnover as VAT.
