If I'm correct, the original question was could a builder ask the skip supplier to zero-rate the skip hire, to which the answer was no.
But as we are a VAT-registered company does that mean we can or cannot claim back the VAT that was charged on the VAT invoice the supplier sent, please?
We are a tiny family business, experienced but disillusioned with buy-to-let. After successful housing conversion & renovation projects we are moving onto our first new-build venture. Lots to learn!
