Clubs of all sizes will encounter VAT in their everyday activities whether registered for VAT purposes or not.
It is important that clubs are fully aware of the potential costs which VAT can create and arrange the way the club works to minimise the impact in terms of both cost and time spent dealing with it.
Failure to deal with VAT adequately can create costs not only of additional VAT but can also give rise to fines and interest charges for failure to comply on a timely basis.
