My client is a barrister who has commenced renting a flat within the Inns of Court. The client maintains that although it includes a small bedroom, it is principally a commercial premises and so any costs should be wholly allowable and all VAT on expenses reclaimable, i.e. special rules apply within the inns of court (as normally at least a proportion which cannot be used for business would be disallowed).
My research so far has not supported the special case. Please advise if there is a special case.
Thank you
