Where Taxpayers and Advisers Meet
Can I claim overpayment back on silent VAT?
I own a franchise and the contract is silent on VAT regarding franchise fees. I have been getting charged VAT in addition to my fees and have just discovered that if silent it is deemed to be inclusive. My question now is can I stop paying the additional VAT and can I claim back overpayments?
Re: Can I claim overpayment back on silent VAT?
Whether you can pay a lower amount is a contractual issue, and for your Solicitor to advise on.
If you do make a claim, what will that do for your relationship with the franchise?

Re: Can I claim overpayment back on silent VAT?
The contract is silent on VAT but they have started adding it when they became VAT registered a few months ago. I have only just found out that my payments should still be inclusive and could do with getting the overpayments back if possible.Whether you can pay a lower amount is a contractual issue, and for your Solicitor to advise on.

That clears up your original post.The contract is silent on VAT but they have started adding it when they became VAT registered a few months ago. I have only just found out that my payments should still be inclusive and could do with getting the overpayments back if possible.
If your agreement does not mention VAT, then the amount agreed is the amount you pay. You are not obliged to pay VAT on top of it.
