How does VAT flat rate VAT works?

The Flat Rate Scheme is designed to simplify VAT accounting for small businesses. Instead of reclaiming VAT on individual purchases, you pay a fixed percentage (based on your industry) of your gross turnover to HMRC.

Although you cannot reclaim VAT on purchases, the scheme allows you to retain the difference between what you charge your customers and what you pay to HMRC.
