VAT reclaim crossing out

[Gone West]

Just doing the VAT reclaim and I have a couple of questions.

If an invoice contains items that cannot be claimed for, is it best to highlight them with a highlighter pen or put a pencil line through them?

Are non electric wooden gates accepted for VAT reclaim purposes as fencing is?

I would strike out - seems clearer.

I put a cross by the items that I didn’t include and added a total to the bottom of the invoice with those items excluded. I didn’t want to strike a line through the invoice in case I wanted to copy it later or whatever. 

 

I claimed for pedestrian gates as I counted them as ‘boundary’ so I would include a main gate. It’s surely just the electric motors you can’t include as most gates can be automated?

 

My claim (sent Feb) hasn’t been processed yet though so I can’t say whether the approach has been successful or not yet.
