Hi,

I am doing the bookkeeping for a (Pty) Ltd registered as a VAT vendor.

We are building a new house for the first time. The agreement was that the client would pay for all the material. We are managing the site on a daily basis and charge for the labour, a professional (or builders) fee and extra's i.e. rental of equipment every fortnight. I have added VAT to the invoices. The architect who is doing the cost consolidation for the client is arguing that we can't charge VAT. I think he is wrong, but have looked everywhere and can not find a clear answer. Can anyone tell me what the correct way is to do this, please?

Thanks
