VAT registration.

[NASCAR]

If a company is charging VAT, does it legally have to show it's number on invoice or letter heading? If not, how can I find out its number?

[Eric Mc]

It should always show its VAT reg number on any invoices issued.

If it doesn't show the VAT number, ask them for a proper invoice before paying.

- because without it you can't reclaim the VAT (if that was your idea, or maybe you think they are just dodgy)

Definitely the former and possibly the latter as well!
