I'm sorry, I must be missing something here. What has VAT registration got to do with it?

I think it's a way of separating a 'real' company from a mate from the pub.

If they are vat registered they can be tracked, asked to go to court, asked to provide copies of the report etc.

VAT registered is a stipulation from the finance company, as previously mentioned to sort the wheat from the chaff.

Well thanks for the insults. I have deliberately de-registered for VAT and kept my turnover to the limit. I did this because it makes me so much more competitive, particularly as my business is so labour intensive. The increased VAT rate of 20% is utterly scandalous.

Just for the record I am a qualified engineer with over 40 years experience, numerous very happy customers and many referrals.

All the grossly incompetent main dealers whose poor work I have to deal with on a daily basis are VAT registered.

I rest my case.
