VAT on reimbursed expenses return?

Didn't find your answer?

Client is VAT registered Company A) and subcontracts to a company (Company B).

Company A is paid for labour and work + VAT from company B, no problems there. Company A also claims expenses incurred from company B, which they pay them, inclusive of VAT.

So on the VAT return, first one is due Jan 7th, is box 1 labour VAT PLUS VAT received from company B regarding expenses?

Apologies, I can't quite seem to get my head around this one.

Company A expenses is kind of a double entry with the end result being any vat due to hmrc.

Company A purchase expense and vat in the usual boxes.

Then company A issues an invoice for expenses to company B so again net sales and vat in the usual boxes.

Company A reclaims vat on actual expense but declares vat on payment for those expenses. Difference if any would be vat due to hmrc.

Thank you for your help and the prompt reply.

So to confirm, you are saying purchase net and VAT in box 4 and 7.

Then sales net and VAT in box 1 and 6, but add on the purchase net and VAT in box 1 and 6.

So total VAT due in box 5 is just VAT received on sales. but purchase VAT nets itself off the relevant boxes?

That helps, I see now. Thank you very much!
