FRS scheme for bakery

I am trying to work out the VAT liability, most of the products sold are ZERO rated. I am bit confused here because VAT Notice 733 guides me to apply VAT 4% on sales. But if I was to work out VAT liability using VAT standard scheme majority of my sales will be ZERO rated. Please guide me in this that I need to apply VAT 4% if I am using FRS scheme.

Hi,
If you are on the Flat Rate Scheme or considering to join the scheme then you will still charge the same liability to your customers, depending on the products ie 0% or 20%.
You then apply the percentage based on your chosen trade sector against the gross sales and pay this over to HMRC.
If you are providing a lot of zero rated sales then it probably wouldn't be in your interrest to join the Flat Rate Scheme as you could be losing money.
Please see the guidance below:

Thankyou.
