Hi all. I would like to confirm whether it is possible to claim VAT on van that you are no longer have it. The client purchased a van two years ago, and then he was registered for VAT under the Flat Rate Scheme 6 months ago. I understand that VAT incurred on a van purchased three years before registration and used before and after registration would be recoverable in full He had an accident that was not worth to fix the van, so he decided to sell it for scrap. The questions is; can he still claiming the VAT on the van purchase? I appreciate any help you can provide. Kind Regards.
