Vat on fuel card
Hi. I'm currently a self employed courier working for a courier firm. I provide an invoice to them for my labour and business mileage (15p per mile). In return they invoice me for van rental, admin fees and use of a fuel card. I am not vat registered so cannot invoice the company for vat on my labour and fuel. They are vat registered and understandably charging me VAT. I'm a bit confused on the fuel part though. I recently filled up the van to a value of £86.00 but have been invoiced by the company for £86.00 + VAT. Is this correct? I feel that I'm paying VAT twice.

Re: Vat on fuel card
You might have been. Fuel cards work in different ways. What are the contractual arrangement between the fuel card company and the courier firm? Clearly if the courier firm is receiving a supply of fuel then it should be able to recover the VAT incurred and then charge you "plus VAT" on the "net" amount. Of course, if the courier firm is not receiving a supply of fuel then it would not be entitled to recover the VAT and therefore there would be a doubling up as you describe.I recently filled up the van to a value of £86.00 but have been invoiced by the company for £86.00 + VAT. Is this correct? I feel that I'm paying VAT twice.
