The only exception to that is if its an expensive item & the

And I wonder how many 'small traders' charge VAT when they aren't
even registered for it ?.

Only the ones committing fraud.
Incidentally claiming VAT back on stuff that is not passed on to a
third party is also fraud.

No its not. A VAT registered business will claim back VAT on all
purchases. It will charge VAT on all sales. It will pay HMRC the
difference. Hence the tax raised on the Value Added by the business.

Its OK I have already accepted that i was wrong.

Wahoo!

I just wont say yes or no to geof as it is winding him up so much its
funny. He even gets wound up because I miss bits off his name which I
do because he appears to like to change mine.

You don't have the ****ing brains to wind Geoff up you ******. You ****ed
up and are now claiming you did it on purpose.

It appears that the original VAT system was changed and I didn't
notice but so what? I don't run a business.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha! "the original VAT system was changed and I didn't
notice".

You prize idiot. The principls of VAT have never changed. It has never been
fraud to claim VAT back on stuff that is not passed on to a third party.
