We have a situation where an external company is billing one of our unit companies (Hereafter called Company B) and the invoice is addressed to that unit company (Company B). However, due to an agreement made with that unit company, the head office (hereafter Company A) is expected to pay and record the costs in their books. Company B does not have the facility to pay the external company and recharge Company A. The external company will not charge Company A as their agreement for the services is with Company B. As Company A and B are in the same VAT group (along with others) and only one Group Vat return is submitted to HMRC, can company A claim the VAT. Generally, I'd think not, but as it all goes in under one vat return, I'm not sure if it's at least allowable. Thanks

Thanks for the confirmation.

Hi We have a leaver who is leaving after the July FPS/EPS was submitted. They were originally planning to leave at the end of August, but have now brought it forward to the end of July (once we'd actually done everything). The August RTI will then show their leaving date as 31st August. All ok so far. However, he will also be getting some pay in August. My head says I should 0T Month 1 their tax code as they have left - but on the other hand, HMRC do not know they've left until they get this pay and the new RTI is submitted. Should I 0t them or use their current tax code? (For the record, testing it, there isn't much difference in value as they are already on month 1 and a K code. Looking at the online calculator, they may even pay less tax if we 0t it, but I want to be sure it's right. )
