This has only been asked about 100 times in the last ten years. Have you been asleep?

Even if the items on the expenses are zero VAT rated (as I understand train fares are) then you still add VAT to the invoice for expenses?
Client paid my first one now is saying no to VAT.

But then, since I'm flat rate VAT registered I'd have to pay that on any incoming invoices, so I'd lost out?

I am right? VAT is added in any case?

Yes, you should charge VAT at the same rate as you do for the services you provide. It's not even should but must.
