VAT refund Procedure

[Oly]

Hi

I am Vat registrated in the UK. I am going to buy some goods from one vat-registrated suppliers and then to export them outside the EU. But the supplier need to issue a invoice topped with vat to me. The question is how could I get the vat refunded? Someone told me that I just need to treat the vat as normal inputs in vat return. If the tax men come, you could show them your evidence of export such as B/L, Airway Bill, Commercial invoice..... Is this procedure right?

Or should any particular form be filled and be sent to HMRC for a refund?

Thanks a lot

Yes just reclaim the VAT as normal. There is more information on evidence of export here

Thanks! So is this the only way to get the VAT refunded?

If not comfortable with the first reclaim or vat return, get a tax accountant for as little as £50 to process the refund for you. Sites like "find-accountants.com" is extremely good in this..as it takes 1 minute to post your request and local accountants contact you directly with quotes.
