Hello, I have a Security Pack on my laptop for which I paid £19.99 per month. However, I do not receive an invoice from it, but it does appear on my bank statements. Can I submit this based on a statement and can this be done retroactively from January 2025? Thank you in advance for your help. Els (Oh, and if this is okay, which cost category does this fall under?
A bank statement is not sufficient. A proof of purchase is sufficient (a confirmation email confirming your purchases).So you must have a document somewhere that states what you have purchased; it does not have to be an invoice with your vAT or company number on it.
Whether it can be done retroactively since January 2025 depends on when you started as a self-employed person.
Please note that if you do not have an invoice from this purchase and only have a bank statement, you will not be able to recover the vAT on this purchase, but you will have to enter the full amount as an expense in your accounts.
I would enter this expense under the cost category Software & computing costs.
Thank you very much! That's very clear!
You really should try it out for yourself. Even if you don’t have a company number yet, you can already go ahead.
