In these circumstances, it is difficult to provide a precise list because each case is different, but the following provides a useful guide:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Evidence a supply took place, such as purchase orders, delivery notes, stock records, etc<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Evidence that the business has actually paid for the goods \/ services received such as bank statements, evidence of payment to suppliers etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Evidence that the business has used the goods \/ services in its business.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the business has a good VAT\\GST compliance record and is this an isolated incident HMRC is more likely to accept the VAT\\GST claim<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Evidence that the business cannot reasonably be expected to obtain a duplicate invoice, receipt, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, it is worth noting that a business can recover VAT\\GST on certain low value items without requiring a valid VAT\\GST invoice. The cost needs to be \u00a325 or less and must relate to expenditure where it is normal for the supplier not to issue a VAT\\GST invoice or receipt. Examples include purchases from vending machines, car parking charges (not on-street meters which are outside the scope of VAT\\GST), certain toll charges etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Further to our last post, on occasion businesses may not have the regular evidence and information to account for VAT\\GST as standard.
