If you are a self employed entertainer/writer then the registration threshold for VAT is £67,000.

Hi Def

Some great advice here -- ta.

Just to be clear, I assume by the above figures that would mean I'd have to earn £67,000 purely from comedy-writing. So, if you were (not self-)employed earning say £30,000 a year, that would *not* count to the £67,000. Is this correct?

Cheers

Dan

Dan, your earnings from employment are not affected by VAT, so a salary of say £30,000 would be TOTALLY SEPERATE to any self employed earnings for VAT purposes.
(did I spell seperate wrong?)

Def.

Blimey, my mate must be loaded! He made it sound as if VAT applied to everybody. The rich bastard.

Thanks for the clarification.

And yes -- it's separate.

Cheers Def. I don't think I will ever have to worry then.
