[Committee] Fwd: Can't get a VAT receipt

[Andrew Jack]

Hi All

I have tried to get a VAT receipt for the pizza's however the people who I
spoke to did not even know what VAT is. So after emailing the SCC
Treasurer, we are going to have to change pizza company, otherwise we are
going to loose 20% each week.

 Hi Andrew

 Do be aware that  company is legally obliged to produce a VAT receipt on
request. If the guy you're asking doesn't know what VAT is, he's unlikely
to know that and it won't help you much. I'm afraid that without a VAT
receipt, you can't reclaim VAT (even if you paid it) as that would be tax
fraud. As far as I can see, you have two options: keep pursuing escalating
levels of complaint with the pizza company, which is likely to be a lot of
hassle and no particular benefit to you, or change to a major chain like
Domino's, who will produce VAT receipts.

 Sorry I can't be more help

 Hi,

 We (Christian Union) order pizza's after our weekly meetings, from a local
pizza company. I have been to them to get a VAT receipt in order to make a
claim as I have paid for them. However the pizza company claim to not be
able to produce a VAT receipt. One person I spoke to did not know what VAT
is.

 I'm not sure what to do, we are planning to do this every week and
therefore losing 20% cannot be sustained.

 Thanks,

 Andrew Jack (Treasurer)
