Flat rate VAT and pre-trade assets
Hi there,
I have a client who bought a laptop prior to starting his limited company, for around £1800 inc VAT. He is now on flat rate VAT. Normally the threshold for claiming back VAT on capital assets under flat rate is £2000 inc VAT, so he has just missed it - but because this is a pre-registration expenditure can he claim back the VAT?
Thanks!

Yes, providing it was genuine pre-trading expenditure and not a transfer from personal use to business use.0
