I am self employed and invoice clients through a limited company. This means I need to add VAT to invoices.
My clients are small and I’m always worried they won’t want to use me because of the extra 20% so I end up being apologetic about it.
Instead of sounding professional I say things like “I’ve got a limited company... so do you mind awfully if I invoice you that way... but that means VAT... I’m terribly sorry... so is that okay?” I end up sounding like a little girl.
How can I word it in an email/conversation so I let them know I have to charge VAT but don’t sound apologetic about it?
