Standard method, de minimis tests, annual adjustment, SMO and capital goods – all in one place
Secure checkout. Your download link is sent as soon as payment clears.

If your business makes exempt supplies (for example healthcare, education, insurance, finance or most residential and commercial rents without an option to tax) as well as taxable ones, you usually can't reclaim all the VAT you pay on costs. This workbook applies HMRC's standard method each quarter, runs all three de minimis tests, works out the annual adjustment and tells you which return it goes on. It also checks the standard method override, keeps a capital goods scheme register and compares the standard method with floor space, headcount and sectorised special methods.
