pass the hire costs directly to the client.
I often charge just after fieldwork and before the report is produced. I have wondered whether if you had a large cheque that appeared to put you into the threshold area whether it would be legitimate to slip out the time taken for post excavation in the invoice? My thinking is that you do a weeks field work earn 70000 but it takes you a year (and a day) to produce the report could you claim to the vat man that the payment rate was never reached? (obviously I would not take on any other work in that period)
