Good day,

I have registered my company for VAT on Friday, 7 October 2016 and my VAT Liability Date has been set to the 1st of October 2016.

I contacted all suppliers, requesting them to update my account with the VAT Number, then I requested from suppliers where I purchased items from that they credit my invoices and reinvoice me with the VAT Number on it, so that I can claim it as input vat.

However, the one supplier simply said that they are unable to credit my "old" invoice, and reinvoice me, as I was not registered for VAT when the purchase was made (which is the 5th of October).

Are they allowed to do this?

I hope that someone will be able to provide me with some clearance on this.

Thank you in advance...
