I have an invoice from a subcontractor and the total charge is 450.00 he has then deducted 20% tax of 90.00 then it says VAT 90.00 total charge including VAT 450.00.
The figures look ok to me. I would have thought he would have issued an invoice for £450 plus VAT £90 Total £540 and then the main contractor would issue the sub-contractor with a statement of tax deducted. Maybe the sub-contractor is just simplifying things for the main contractor.
