Vijay Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Just wondered what information we have to have on invoices in order to claim the VAT back? Will name suffice or do we have to have an address? I bought some ply today and was so annoyed with the BM (they put the price up when I got there), that I forget to check the invoice which just has my surname What happens with invoices for stuff ordered online, can we claim back the shipping/carriage VAT? Cheers Vijay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragg987 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Shipping / carriage is eligible for VAT reclaim provided it is on the same invoice as the materials. On name and address, I recall seeing somewhere that low value items do not need all the details. I cannot recall where I came across this, I did have a few receipts (<£10 each) which were anonymous till receipts. Claim is in but awaiting feedback for the revenue.

Vijay Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 I think I'll try and get in the habit of insisting my address is on invoices, may make things easier.................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdinand Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 If they protest, is it a viable Plan B to have a name and address stamp, and just ask the sales person to initial over the top? Or even just to stamp it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Harris Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Loads of my receipts didn't have my full address on, many didn't have any address, some didn't even have my name on (mainly till receipts). In the end, none were rejected by HMRC. The two queries we had related to a bike shed that was shown on the plans, but which we didn't build (or claim for) and a problem with the kitchen supplier, who had included both VAT reclaimable items and one item that should have been zero rated on the same receipt (sorted eventually, but delayed the reclaim for a couple of months). None of the till receipts or receipts with no full address were questioned or refused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vijay Posted May 14, 2017 Author Share Posted May 14, 2017 What do you do with invoices that contain say materials and tools, can you claim back the materials lines of the invoice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
