Charging customers for expenditue which includes VAT. does Net or Groos apply??

Diddy Mau

Hello All

a while since I've been on here. But got a strange question to ask:

my company paid for expenses for employee for visiting a customer to do work for them. All expenditure is re-charged to the customer, if one item has VAT included, should I charge the Gross amount on receipt plus VAT or should this be Net plus our VAT?

tried to have a look online but couldn't find a definitive answer to this.

hope my explanation is clear:huh:

in short, you can charge Net plus VAT or Gross plus VAT, both are allowable
