Hello I have a question regarding VAT which I hope you can help with. I am self employed and VAT registered and have just been asked by my IP to reclaim VAT on all the invoices they have raised in my name (c/o their address) for their charges. As the amount is really quite high (I'm 3.5 years into my IVA) I just wanted to check that this is standard procedure? I have been asked to include this in my next VAT return and once I receive the money to forward a cheque to them in my name (IVA).

You can't do this - the VAT office will not allow the reclaim of VAT on IP invoices, as they are not deemed to be business expenses.

Surely the IP should know that and to ask could be deemed as fraudulent ! Unfair on the poster to ask them to do it ! Take Mel's advice and say no.

Thanks for your advice, much appreciated. Really glad I asked as it could come back to haunt me several years down the line if I had a VAT inspection. [:)]
