tax invoice

[JeanPop]

If true, it poses something of a problem for vendors/suppliers not registered for VAT, because there's a heck of a lot of companies that refuse to pay without being supplied a Tax Invoice - and will happily pay once those magic words are on the invoice, even although they clearly reflect that the vendor is not registered and there is no claimable input VAT to be had.



Happily for me it's academic - but for a lot of micro enterprises this could be a very real headache

Quick question on this one - can a vat vendor then claim vat output from a non vat vendor?

You cannot claim any VAT from a non VAT vendor. If he is your supplier you cannot claim input VAT off his invoices because there is no VAT reflected on them (well, there should not be).
