I print on textile items and souvenirs, key rings, coffee mugs, etc.
I want to create/maintain a stock list. Should this be with or without vAT? I am self-employed and exempted from vAT.
I have looked up everything via the community, but I have found different things, so I am still not sure what to do!
For your stock list, you must note the amounts including VAT, because you are exempted from VAT.
As a self-employed person exempted from VAT, you cannot recover the VAT on your purchases, so that VAT becomes part of your purchase price. The vAT charged by your suppliers on textile items, mugs, key rings, etc. is simply an additional cost that you cannot recover.
Practical example:
You buy mugs for €100 + €21 vAT = €121 total
In your stock list, you note down €121 per item
This is your actual cost price

This applies to all your costs, always including vAT. It also applies to your trade goods that you put into inventory.
You really should try it out for yourself. Even if you don’t have a company number yet, you can already go ahead.
