Often the question arises whether VAT must be levied on costs that are recovered from third parties. This is especially relevant when no VAT was incurred on the expense. Examples of such recoveries are rates and taxes, salaries or where a consultant recovers certain costs from its client on which no VAT was initially incurred e.g. private travel costs.
