VAT
Registration and deregistration thresholds

Fuel scale charges
If your business pays for road fuel, one way of dealing with the VAT charged on the fuel is to reclaim all of the VAT and pay the appropriate fuel scale charge - this is a way of accounting for output tax on fuel that your business buys but that's then used for private motoring.
New VAT fuel scales charges will replace the existing rates from 1 May 2013.
