- HMRC allows claims for input tax without a VAT invoice if alternative evidence is provided, especially in cases where invoices are missing, lost, or destroyed.
- If a VAT invoice is not available due to gifts or no consideration, normal invoicing with a specific tax certificate statement can be used as evidence.
- For sectors prone to fraud, businesses must ensure suppliers and supplies are genuine to claim input tax.
- Input tax cannot be claimed if VAT is charged by a non-authorised person; special arrangements apply in such cases.
