VAT on Lead Sale (construction)

Hi, If you have sold scrap lead (I have a registered LTD/Vat company) assuming the purchaser has paid vat to you to buy it. How do I then declare the sale money, as a sale including VAT and liable to tax?. So I have to pay the vat on/claim it in my vat expense?

Hi,
If you have purchased the goods with VAT and sold the goods with VAT, then it would be a case of recovering the VAT as input tax and accounting for VAT on the sale as output tax. Please see the guidance below which explains how to complete each box of the VAT return:

Thank you.
