The Government believes that some trades have unfairly benefited from using the Flat Rate Scheme, particularly small businesses with low costs, such as contractors, and hopes that a change to the way the Flat Rate Scheme is calculated “will help level the playing field, while maintaining the accounting simplification for the small businesses that use the scheme as intended.” From 1st April 2017, so-called ‘limited cost traders’ will use a new 16.5% rate when calculating their Flat Rate Scheme liabilities.
