I think it is determined by the business trade sector, here is a list of 
the rates;

So the existing UK Vat accounts can be used to record the Input and 
Output VAT amounts as normal, but somehow I need to "reconcile" the 
collected/charged VAT with the money in my Current Account (and I need 
to zero the VAT accounts at each VAT quarter)

So I need to run a job to calculate the right payment and make transfers 
to "VAT paid" and also returns the excess to the Current account... any 
ideas how to proceed with that?

Thanks,
Tom
