    Study Notes

    VAT Registration and Exempt Supplies

    • A business making only exempt supplies cannot register for VAT and therefore cannot claim back input VAT, resulting in an additional cost.
    • This typically affects charities and education providers.

    Partially Exempt Businesses

    • A partially exempt business sells both taxable and exempt supplies.
    • The input VAT on purchases relating to exempt supplies is considered exempt input VAT.

    De Minimis Rule

    • If the exempt input VAT is below the 'de minimis' amount, it can be reclaimed in full.
    • The 'de minimis' amount is:
      • Less than £625 per month (on average)
      • Less than half of the total input VAT claimed
    • If the exempt input VAT exceeds the 'de minimis' amount, it cannot be reclaimed.
