Hi, small businesses in the UK have the option to use the flat rate VAT scheme.  In summary, you invoice your customers with the standard VAT rate and you pay a fixed percentage of the total of the invoice.  VAT on purchases is not recoverable, except for large purchases (over a certain amount).

An example to clarify:

Customer invoice for 1000 + 20% vat =1200, recording a profit of 1200.

At the end of the quarter, vat due is 1200 * 13% =   156, recording an expense of 156.

I guess this could be done through a module.
