It's a bit quiet on here today, I wonder if everyone's too busy with the January deadline to post.
My query is what is legally (or HMRC view) requried for an Inovice to be Valid for VAT purposes, i.e for the purchaser to reclaim the VAT. And does this differ between a Sole Trader or Partnership and a Limited Company business?
Has anybody got a definitive list, as one of my clients has an issue where one of there supliers charges VAT on some invoices and then not on other ones and there are no details of either the Ltd Company (which they say they are), or the registered office and also No VAT Reg.Number.
Theres a very good description of whats needed on an invoice for it to be a VAT invoice on the HMRC website. It also covers less detailed VAT invoices.
