  • Input VAT and invoices over 6 months old

    I have a situation where purchase invoices totalling £80,000 + VAT were received in late March 2024 with a payment date of 1 October 2024. The £16,000 of input VAT on these invoices was not claimed by the company in the Q/E 31 March 2024 return, as it was known at the time that the full credit period would be taken and the invoices would not be settled within 6 months. Should this input VAT simply be claimed in the return for the Q/E 31 December 2024? Turnover for the business is £10m, spread evenly throughout the year - so 1% of Box 6 would be approx £25,000 each quarter.
