Dear All, We are contacting you on behalf of a VAT registered taxpayer in the UK. Sometimes their employees travel and therefore book hotels and take meals. As the company reimburses the amount of the expense to its employees, we understand that the company is entitled to reclaim the input VAT on these expenses (VAT), as these expenses are fully business related. However, sometimes hotel/restaurant invoices (over £250) are not issued in the name of the UK entity. We are aware that the company name is not required for invoices under £250. However, the question is: If the invoice is over £250 and is issued in the name of the employee, should we ask the supplier for a new invoice with the company (client) tax details or can we deduct the input VAT even if the company's tax details are not indicated on the invoice? Thank you in advance for your help. Best regards, Raquel

Dear HMRC Team, We have an invoice issued by a hotel (which is VAT registered in the UK) which does not include the company's tax details on the invoice so we are requesting a reissued invoice from this supplier. Is it valid for this supplier to send us the invoice adding the company's tax details in handwritten form? Can we deduct VAT through this invoice? Thanks in advance for your help and time.
