Hi,

Can I check a company if a can claim the expense and the vat back on legal fees incurred prior to VAT registration for a leasehold purchase?

Thanks,

In principle, VAT incurred prior to registration can be recovered under reg 111. HMRC Notice 700 chapter 11 refers to this.

Agree.

But as the expense is not a tax deductible expense, i just wanted to check you can still claim the VAT even though it isnt allowable?

Thanks,
