Does your business use self-employed staff/contractors? If it does, what happens to VAT on, say, their overnight expenses? Can the VATman argue you can’t reclaim the VAT on any expense they recharge
to you?
As the sales director you’re out on the road a lot meeting and greeting existing and potential customers, and spending a packet in the process. But how much of the VAT on these costs will HMRC allow
you to reclaim?
For this VAT period you have expenses shown on your company credit card statement but no VAT invoices to back them up. If you don’t include them in the return you might be missing out on Input VAT.
So what should you do?
Businesses can’t reclaim VAT on entertaining expenses, but there are circumstances where this rule doesn’t apply. And a recent case in the European Court of Justice (ECJ) has created a further
opportunity. When can you make a claim?
The Taxman’s rules about taxing benefits-in-kind are varied and can be complicated. But what about the VATman? If your company has paid VAT in providing you with a benefit-in-kind can it claim this
back on its VAT return?
In a recent tribunal case the VATman used a different interpretation of the law concerning claims for pre-registration input VAT. Will this affect any claim you’ve already made or could make in
future?
A subscriber recently contacted us saying that they had heard the VATman was no longer allowing businesses to reclaim the VAT on the costs of holding meetings and conferences at hotels. Is this true?
If you buy a little thank you gift for your staff can you claim the VAT back on it? Are the rules any different if you want to reward a member of your staff with a meal in a swanky restaurant?
Paying for goods/services with the company credit card is pretty run of the mill stuff. However, you might not be claiming all the VAT you are entitled to. What exactly should you be looking out for
when you complete your next VAT return?
You know that there is more input VAT to claim for this VAT return but you haven’t got all the paperwork in yet. Do you have to wait until your next VAT return to claim this, or is there a way to get
the VAT back now?
