Vat

Nikita

Hi
When doing vat submission - can you claim for lunch and drinks etc say for example purchased with fuel at petrol station ? Sorry haven’t done it in a long time. Any advice much appreciated ?

Hi @Nikita

Would you give a bit more details please? Who is claiming lunch? In what capacity? Is the travel an allowable business expense?
Thanks

Nikita

From the VAT guide

[you may claim] as input tax the VAT on meals you take when you’re away from your normal place of work on a business trip, but you cannot recover the VAT on meals which are not taken for business purposes
