Hi
I am setting up my business in about 2 weeks. Now i have a customer already that wants to buy off me NOW. But the problem is that if i buy materials off my supplier, i cant claim my vat back as the business hasnt been registered. I've been told a number of things.
1) I dont have to pay vat as my business doesnt make over €55,000 in its first year so i can tell this to my supplier
2) I can pay the vat and claim it back (But i thought you couldnt claim vat if your business isnt set up yet)
So what can i do?
Thanks
