Just issued an invoice this morning for the debtor to bounce an email back to say the company is going into liquidation. Nothing showing at Companies house, although I have just spoken to the liquidator appointed who has confirmed that will be the case and forms will be issued in a couple of days.
Just wondered what the consensus view was on the invoice I issued this morning. Especially given I have issued further ones to other debtors, so now its a few down in the sequencing. Whether to delete. Which I dont think is right. Or Credit note - which would just be internal purposes and is strictly speaking against the VAT rules. Or leave as is, suffer the VAT (not much £££, but still!) and put the whole lot through on the claim.
The invoice is for the work in May and June so its a valid invoice. But in reality I know we arent going to see anything back from this lot!

Well I've made my mind up and am sticking with what is really the right answer, and what I had decided a few minutes before posting earlier, annoying though it will be that I can't now claim the VAT back for my client until at least six months have passed.
