Hi,
Just joined up to day and already swamped in great detail.
Got a query re VAT though. From what I can see from HMRC notices am I right in saying that, for a VAT registered business anyway, if it owns a FIT then VAT is not paid on what is generated, only what is exported back to the grid? And even then the "invoice" or "payment notice" I receive from the supplier will add the VAT to the 4.5p rate and so I pay it over to HMRC.
Also, for income tax purposes, again, if the business owns the FIT then its treated as taxable income?
To give a bit of background we are in the process of buying a particular 50KW FIT as an investment and plan to do a few more.
Advice appreciated.
