VAT on expenses

Standard VAT Scheme

The Standard VAT Scheme allows you to claim back any VAT you have incurred on expenses.

For instance if you were to buy a computer costing £1,200 the first £1,000 of this is the fee paid to the shop for the computer with the additional £200 being the VAT that the shop will then pay to HMRC. You would then be able to claim this £200 back from HMRC when you file your VAT return.
