You've got to be careful with Amazon as it's likely you'll get items from multiple suppliers so a number of different invoices with different VAT numbers which does not meet the requirements. Has to be one invoice/VAT number. A market place offering products from a number of suppliers is not the same as buying from one supplier on one invoice.

Yep. You're right. Just checked my recent Amazon orders and they say I need to request the actual invoice from the marketplace seller, Amazon only supply the sales order info.

Orders with a mixture of 100% Amazon, marketplace 3rd party but fulfilled by Amazon (i.e. stocked and shipped from an Amazon warehouse), or fullfilled by marketplace 3rd party directly, results in only the 100% Amazon items being accessible via the invoice Amazon provides online. The other two routes require contacting the 3rd party for the invoice.

Oh well, another idea that was pie in the sky.

Hi all,
I have just started my own Ltd company as a contractor. I am trying purchase several large items that will qualify as capital assets. I'm registered to use the Flat Rate VAT scheme, so it's advantageous for my purchase to be over £2000. Problem is, I can't find a single supplier for everything, such that no single receipt will be over £2000.
How have people been able to avoid this problem in the past? Do companies exist to purchase any product you specify and then sell them on? Would this violate some other regulation in not aware of?
Looking forward to your thoughts.

Its probably not worth the effort to do what you are trying to do. I like high end kit and even with this in mind the Vat for all the stuff that could be legitimately claimed in my office would be less than the margin we make on the FRS scheme in any given year.

Maybe there's a plan B here for doing with invoices same as what we can do with divvies. Accumulate throughout the year and roll into one official document for accounting purposes at year end.

So companies on FRS buy via a supplier and gets an annual invoice. I guess similar to what many suppliers do when offering payment on account terms, though usually 30-90 days not 365.

Still sounds like multiple purchases to me (note that HMRCs VAT notice makes no mention of it needing to be a single invoice, it needs to be a single PURCHASE).

Desk, chair, computer, and monitor to name the biggest. Part of the problem is that I'm very specific on requirements for each.

Bechtle do all of that: https://shop.bechtle.de/de Maybe there's a UK equivalent
