Hello all
I am not vat registered, and working on an hourly rate to a local company.
Not particularly relevant here, but using my own vehicle, tools etc.
While using their vehicle a few weeks, back, I incurred fuel costs and I also purchased some materials from my own pocket to complete the installation.
I submitted my invoice to them, along with a breakdown of dates, the item purchased, where purchased and amount.
I also included a scanned copy of all the receipts for proof of purchase.
At the end of the invoice, I listed materials as one total, labour as another total and then the complete owed amount.
Come payment, they only paid the labour portion of the invoice and withheld the materials. They say they will not pay it until I produce VAT receipts.
Well, I didn't obtain a VAT receipt for the fuel (I forgot to ask), but they have a copy of the Visa receipt for the amount. I could find the receipt for the other materials, but again, they have a copy of the Screwfix receipt.
I can only assume they want my VAT receipts to illegally claim my VAT back (and I know they have done this with other sub contractors).
I am standing my ground, and told them they cannot 'split' my invoice like that. I have provided more than enough evidence of my expenditure.
Or... am I wrong?
