Yes the dreaded tax. The question is though, being VAT registered does it attract work more than repel? Or is it just a blight on securing jobs?
For example: If Mrs X receives a non VAT registered quote 20% less than another firms, will she be thinking "fantastic I've saved hundreds!" or will she be thinking "Their not VAT registered, why aren't they & do they actually carry out much work".
Any thoughts?
EDIT: Mrs X is just a non VAT registered private customer. Does she trust a VAT registered installer more or is the savings made by not choosing a VAT registered company far outweighing her concerns of choosing a non-VAT registered installer.
