    Is the required detail available for entry on your VAT return?

    My accountant asked if it was an interest expense as it has been recorded but mentioned that as a service fee it was vatable and the vat should be recoverable. He wanted to an adjustment in our next return.

    If it is a business expense and that has VAT, I can’t see why you can’t claim back the VAT.

    And you’ll need a VAT or less detailed VAT invoice to support the claim.

    If there’s a compliant VAT invoice and it was a business expense: yes.

    The more interesting issue is: why is it considered VAT-able supply?
    There has been some previous discussion around the issue of VAT on Bluechain. I have (in corporate guise) paid VAT to Bluechain, been issued valid VAT invoices, and reclaimed the VAT.

    I don’t see why it’s a VAT-able supply and I think they probably have it wrong, but if I have a valid VAT invoice then that’s a them problem.
