Does the presence of a VAT registration number on a receipt mean that VAT has been charged? I.e. can I reclaim VAT on (in this particular case) car parking if the car parking ticket has the VAT registration number of the car parking company on it?
I think it conforms to the rules in that it's a small amount (less than £100), it has the amount, the date and a VAT number. However there is no indication of the VAT rate applicable and no indication that the charge includes VAT. It *doesn't* have "this is not a VAT receipt" written on it though.
Any opinions/comments?
