We have a client whose turnover has always been below the VAT threshold. As her clients are private individuals she has not registered voluntarily.
Recent increases in the level of her business have meant that her turnover was approximately £63,000 during the 2006 calendar year. Of course, on one level that means that she is liable to register for VAT; however, our client believes that her customers will not be prepared to bear the additional cost of the VAT and therefore the VAT will have to be borne by our client herself.

We understand that the total receipts for the coming year will also be £63 000 or so. However this means that the real turnover (i.e. total receipts less output tax) will actually be below the deregistration threshold. Is this a ground for non-registration?
We are not entirely sure that we are looking at this...
