VAT Question - Margin Scheme

Hi, we operate under the VAT margin scheme and produce invoices which don’t show the full amount as per government guidelines.

Does the buyer have the ability to claim the full 20% amount of VAT back for their purchase?

Thanks

As you operate under the Margin scheme and don’t supply VAT invoices, the customer can’t reclaim VAT.

Hello

Refer to HMRC VAT guidelines and in particular VAT Notice 718 - the VAT Margin Scheme and Global Accounting.

In short your invoices to customer’s should show 0.00 VAT but there are a few exemptions dependent upon your business.

Even though you are under the Margin scheme you MUST provide VAT invoices if requested.

You also need to keep a record (naturally) of all invoices issued.
