VAT431NB reference/invoice number - help please?

[Bodgerbedge]

Hi, I understand there is a subforum for regular posters with lots of useful guidance for completing the VAT431NB Vat reclaim form - but I am a new poster and cannot find the answer to a really basic (stupid?) question.

 

What should go in the column 'Reference/Invoice number'? I was going to put in there the numbers I have allocated so that I can trace receipts, (ie 1,2,3,4,5......606,607 etc, highly original I know). But I have seen that some contributors have said they have added this as an additional column (which was accepted) so now I'm not sure. Is it the suppliers invoice number? If so, what about those without an invoice number (eg B&Q receipts, Homebase receipts)?

 

Many thanks for any input

Hi, I put in a numerical reference number as you have allocated and it was accepted. I didn't use the invoice number at all. As long as the receipts are filed in order a simple numbering system works fine.
