Really Silly Question- VAT on expenses

slackda

Im having a complete off day, head cold and pending cima exams are in the way of my thought process.

When my client raises an invoice to a supplier they are quoting £60 for travel

Now are they ok to charge VAT on top of that £60? or should they only charge VAT on the service element of thier invoice? or does it depend on the basis of the £60 charge, same goes for expenses incured.

My thought is that they can worries me that the current accountants haven't advised them of this?

Ty guys.

T.C.

VAT on the service provided will include all of the invoice I am sure!

Yep, they have to add VAT to the travel.

If you're quoting a standard charge for travelling to customer's place that's "Call out charge" and it is subject to vat.
