Hire Purchase Agreement
Can anyone clarify for me the correct way to treat the vat on a HP agreement. Should the input vat be claimed as the repayments are made over, in this case the 5 year period.

As a seperate matter the finance charge will be expensed to the periods it relates to over the 5 year period.
