Leases and VAT

Leases and VAT

Postby jasonpaul40 on Fri Sep 30, 2011 10:45 am

Where I have a tax invoice for the supply of leased equipment (commercial/business use and not a car) at the start of the lease I trust I can claim the full input VAT even though the payments will be made on a monthly basis, over a 5 year period? Any difference between operating and finance lease re this?

I would expect the lessor to invoice you monthly with VAT, which is deductible, subject to the usual rules.
VAT is generally charged in full only on a Hire Purchase agreement. I think you will have to check the small print!
