Hi all
I am preparing a tax return for my client and amoung invoices from his subcontactors, there are few invoices issued by slovakian builders who came over to UK, did their job and left, However, their invoices are with their business details in Slovakia. My client assures me that these people run legitimate businesses in their country, but I worry about these invoices without UK UTR number.
What is your take on that? Can these invoices be treated as legitimate expenses?
Thank you for help (appreaciate it is busy time!)

Yes of course but you should advise your client that the CIS returns could be wrong and HMRC could come after him for the unpaid CIS which he may not be able to recover. And make sure he tightens up his verification procedures.
But, IMHO, that doesn’t change the fact that it is a business expense.
No, absolutely not.
