EU Suppliers charging 20% VAT

Didn't find your answer?

If a EU company such as LinkedIn charges 20% VAT on their invoice - can this be reclaimed back via UK VAT Return? Just to mention that the supplier has quoted their EU VAT number and not a UK VAT number

You need to enter the UK VAT number in the account details so that it is treated as B2B.

Thanks - is there another way to reclaim the VAT if it was a B2B transaction?

I have the same problem with a supply of goods from the EU and they are quoting EU vat number and charging 20%. The suppliers have a UK branch but still issue invoices from EU-does anyone know what they are doing these days!

I certainly don't.

But I was impressed by your use of an exclamation mark, rather than a question mark, at the end of your question to indicate rhetoric.
