New to 2011 is the ability to also deal with Flat Rate VAT scheme, produce the relevant VAT returns and stay compliant with the HMRC. Sage 50 2011 also provides customers the ability to view the benefits / costs of being on the Flat Rate VAT scheme, giving the customer a choice in making the decision to stay on Flat Rate or not.
