I am currently self employed as a sole trader in the building trade and I am vat registered for the last several years as I was over the threshold for supply of goods and services.I am about to take a job in sales where I will be paid as a self employed person.I will have expenses such as travel, phone and computer etc.
My question is , if you are vat registered do you have to charge vat on all income?I would ike to remain vat registered as I will be paying vat on diesel, phone , car maintenance etc but the company have said that they do not out earnings plus vat .I expect to receive circa €50k in earnings and I do not want to be hit for the vat element of it.
