VAT on flowers/bouquets?

Postby katieRAS » Fri Nov 11, 2011 1:01 pm

Hi all

I'm just going through our companies expense claims...the VAT seems to have been let slip a bit, and I'm just checking that everything that can be claimed, has been claimed.

I've got an M&S receipt for a flower bouqeut, but its not too clear if there's VAT on it...theres no asterix (*) so does that mean no?

Thanks!

Amoungst the many receipts on my very messy desk - I do not have an M&S one =(

Flowers in this context are standard rated, so I would be comfortable claiming the VAT.

(Only plants/flowers that aren't are ones used for food / food production I think).
Do you adore to transfer your artistic and inventive qualities to renovate a part type? Perhaps your friends who tour your sanctuary head remarks about want they could levy you to change their premises.

I see, thanks!...I'm starting to hate M&S receipts!!! Some items are * while others (that I think should have VAT) arent?!

eg. A BLT sarnie has an *, but a Chicken Salad sarnie doesnt?!! Can you distinguish between the 2?

Maybe the farmer opted to tax the pig.

LOOOL

Maybe the asterix is nothing to do with VAT?

Best post on TF ever.
