This is one for you accountants! Hoping soemone can help me.

I bought something from Ebay, of course I use my personal account to do this but the item is for business use. I scour Ebay constantly for hardware that I can use for demo purposes or new items that I want to test.

I have been charged VAT, the item is 2nd hand etc and over the £18 mark.

If I legitimately put in an expenses claim for the item in to my company can I claim the whole amount and then reclaim the VAT?

Any help is much appreciated.
