I hand over my business (Vat registered) to another party but not the Vat number. These clients signed a contract under the name of the business I am handing over. Can I invoice in my name and ask them to pay me? New owner of the business happy for this to happen. Can I invoice in name of company or am I falling foul of the rules? Again new owner happy for me to do. Can I deregister for Vat and therefore charge these clients net of Vat which to some will be a major benefit a they are not Vat registered? Should I ask the clients to sign new agreement direct with me and tear up the old one?
Any help would be good.
