VAT Fraud by Letting Agent - Please Help

[solange]

Hi Guys

Just wondering if someone could help.

I think my letting agent could be committing vat fraud, they have been charging me commission on contractors invoices.

My statement states the following:
invoice by abc contractors for work done - £193.60 (no vat as abc contractors is not vat registered)
misc commission at 10% - net £22 vat £4.40 gross £26.40

I requested an invoice from abc contractors and the total is £220 i e 193.60+26.40, as I say no vat charged.

Can anyone explain?

Many thnaks for any help

You first say the contractor invoive is £193.60, and later say it is £220.

Which is it?

If the letting agent is charging you a commission, that is vatable. The work done by the contractor is not vatable. The invoice only shows VAT on commission, so that looks ok.
