Our company have recently performed a staff auction in which they have sold off old display items. They have in return paid the cash directly over to a charity. My question is do I need to raise a sales invoice and add VAT for the items sold?

We use a freight company to deliver our goods from GB to our ROI customers. One of our customers do not have a PVA account and the freight company have invoiced us for the VAT owed on the value of the goods delivered at 23% (plus facility fee). Can we recover this VAT within our GB VAT return or is there any other method we can use to obtain a refund?
