Sorry, poorly worded on my behalf, as Andrew says, invoices payable by a third party who will have given an undertaking.

What is covered by your summary? We have tried dates and narrative (with no financials/hours) but still had pushback/queries on occasions. I agree there should be nothing to quibble if they have given an undertaking.

Yes, that’s correct, we have to pick zero, exempt or out of scope but it isn’t clear from the supplier’s invoice which it should be.

This is great, thanks Darren. I wonder if it would be useful to also apply this the other way round for our purchase ledger, we sometimes find it difficult to ascertain which VAT code we need to enter against services we are paying for if the PL invoice just says 0% (LR office copies and various searches from agencies are the two that spring to mind) but also sometimes trying to work out if we’re not being charged VAT because the service is exempt or because the supplier is not VAT registered.
