Flyers and VAT - Chargable or not?

Accounting

Hi All!

Not a QF query, but a general query for those who may be able to help.

I’m looking at flyers for a client, except they would be printed with a site plan on them for a housing development, along with information about the development (house specs, plan overview etc).

The printers aren’t able to advise me, so my question is, do they classify as a VAT or non-VAT purchase?

I was always under the impression that if they need to be kept, then VAT is charged. But I’m a but unsure about this as the HMRC guidelines don’t mention anything like this!

Thanks in advance! :slight_smile:

If the expense was incurred wholly and exclusively for business use and the supplier has provided a VAT purchase invoice, the VAT can be reclaimed.
