Vat
Hi everyone,

Merry Christmas, I hope Father Christmas is good to you.

My question is, if you are a VAT registered company and have been over charged for building insurance and need to claim it back, would you include VAT on your invoice? The company who has over-charged is VAT registered. I'm not sure with it being building insurance.

Thanks for replies.

    In any normal instance there is no VAT on insurance as it is outside the scope and doesn't get included on the VAT return.

    There is however a insurance premium tax of 5% on insurance which many people confuse as being VAT.

    So in this instance they should just raise an invoice to reclaim the difference of the insurance overpayment.

    Hi Just out of interest in this example Could the company who has overcharged issue a credit note? Or does the company who received the building insurance have to issue an invoice to the building insurance company?

    In my humble view, the insurance company should issue a credit note/ refund cheque.

    Kind regards

    It's rather a long winded scenario. I have invoiced them now. Thanks everyone for replies.
