Amazing! And strange that the taxman approves of that! Seems to me he has to collect from two pleople instead of one. With two times the risk of not getting what he thinks he should receive.
I guess however the taxman will have strong opinions. If you are supposed to charge 13% VAT, and I were the taxman, I would come get 13% from you. Why bother to travel to your customers place for that last 1%? Collecting money from your customers, that is your job. So you should have withheld it in the first place. Me (as taxman) is lazy, and collect trough you for all smaller customers all at once. Are you sure this is not a cunning way from the customer to get an extra discount?
