Pathetic.

Actually, it wasn't me that challenged the OP, it was Bramley.

I am genuinely curious how any "house extension" can be made VAT exempt. But to OP seems short on facts on this - any explanation on how he is claiming VAT for a car port at his house, and generally being upset for building something inappropriate and not permitted under planning regs...

At all? Or legitimately?

I'm sure the OP must have found a way to do it legitimately, since there's MORE than enough information here to trace him and his business, and it really would be a very silly thing to do to admit so openly to VAT fraud in such a public place. Mr HMRC is definitely known for lacking a sense of humour, and what appear to be relatively minor incidences such as this are rarely one-offs.

Was recoverd last month ! vat registerd

are you going to ask me for my vat registration number next

dont work for HMRC by any chance lol .

No, I don't. I just come from the work hard and pay what tax is required mindset.

I assume that you bought it through your business and have diverted the stuff to a home build.

Well done you. Super.

edit to add: I do like your car. But that carport must be awful for your neighbours and I doubt it will do the job you want. As per my first post, time for a plan B.

Im not going to go into the nitty gritty but if you know any people with a vat registered company try asking them !

Its not rocket science .

Total £245.90 inc vat
I claim Vat back ! Total £196.72

You might expect someone who is VAT registered to be able to calculate it. A VAT inclusive price of £245.90 is equivalent to £204.91 ex-VAT.

So you spent more than £200 even if you do claim VAT back. Correct?

Vaud said:

Would you like to explain how you can fully recover the VAT?

Br "fully recovering" it: OP can't even work out the numbers properly.

Assuming total including VAT is £245.90, and OP paid the full 20% on everything, then total *before* VAT is £204.91 - so OVER £200.

I *really* hope you've got a proper accountant handling your VAT. As this doesn't look like it will end well...

Me too.

[Vaud]

By the way, if you did claim VAT back; from your post:

"Total £245.90 inc vat I claim Vat back ! Total £196.72"

It is actually: £204.92 +20% =£245.90 (Not 245.90*0.8 which is your calculation above - but you would know that, right, having a VAT registered business)

So you paid >£200

How about this - you pay the difference (either £49.18 or the £40.98 - either variant...) in the tax you owe to HMRC to Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity? Then everybody wins.

Maybe he's a builder and he's built this as a demo to showcase his talents to potential customers as to what brilliant products he can offer

Quite.

Beat me to it. I couldn't believe someone claiming to be VAT registered wouldn't have the first idea how to work it out. But seeing as he hasn't the first idea about what can and cannot legally be reclaimed for input VAT...

Way too many stiffs on this thread lol yes he built it, yes he knows it has to come down, yes he has had a laugh like we all have.

Cant believe your all preaching the prim and proper life, no one is true to the system, you just make out you are so society doesn't climb on your back.

Well done OP and cheers for the sts and giggles.

Vaud said:

No, I don't

although I see that you're based in Switzerland so if you did work collecting VAT it would be the Swiss branch which could almost be shortened to VAT Swizz

Glad its been as fun for you as it has for me !!!

[Vaud]

So at least we have established you paid more than £200 as I see no rebuttal.

Tell you what, if you put £20 in to Great Ormand Street then I will as well.

You aren't genuinely interested, you're trolling over a tax issue. It's as pathetic as it is boring.

Its much more fun taking the piss out of my bespoke carport !!!!

Actually, no I have an extension planned. If I can get 10%-20% more for my money legally, I would like that. Would you like to join the donation I offered to Great Ormand Street?
