Hi Everyone,
I've been searching related information, but it seems that there is no direct answer for this.
Unfortunately I also don't have an account who can help.
I will much appreciate it if any of you could answer my question!
I used DHL to deliver samples from China to the UK, and import VAT is paid to DHL.
As there is no output VAT, so I don't know if I can use C79 (I've received it) to claim it back.
Or, should I request C88 instead of C79?
Many thanks!

Are you making taxable supplies?
If 'Yes', then if the figures per the DHL invoice agree to the C79, reclaim the VAT suffered in your next VAT return.
If 'No', then you can't recover the VAT suffered.
But do you make other taxable supplies? There is more information on business gifts and VAT here
