Another VAT question (purchase of goods from Norway)

[Luigi]

Hello,
I recently purchased a reMarkable tablet (which I strongly recommend) directly from the company's on-line shop. The company is based in Norway.
My Ltd company is VAT registered: what is the treatment of this purchase for the quarterly VAT return? I have been issued with an invoice that show the price with and without VAT (charged at 20%). My accountant thinks that this should not appear in the VAT return, are they correct?

is the VAT charged UK VAT?
I believe that UK VAT is due on imported products at 20%. On that basis I don't see you can't reclaim that VAT. What is the accountants reasoning?
Despite what I may think I'd be very wary of going against what an accountant says without a really good reason though.
