Know when you can reclaim the VAT on unpaid invoices – and when you must repay VAT on supplier bills you have not paid
Secure checkout. Your file is ready in your client portal as soon as payment clears.
When a customer does not pay, you have still paid HMRC the VAT on the invoice. Bad debt relief lets you claim that VAT back once the debt is at least six months overdue. The same rules work in reverse: if you claim VAT on a supplier's invoice and do not pay it within six months, you must repay that VAT.
