    The dreaded VAT threshold!

    In January, after trying so hard not to, we have ended up having to be VAT registered. I don't know about anyone else but for me as a small business it's going to cripple us as to keep in line with other salons (who are not registered) we just can't put our prices up, so this money will be...
