Dear Sir/Madam,
When I park in Ghent, I always receive a receipt. As this is not an invoice, I am not allowed to deduct the vAT. I received the next answer from the city of Ghent: ‘The Mobility Company does not issue invoices for parking fees’.
Can I still deduct the vAT from the receipt? The vAT is stated separately on it. I can also sufficiently demonstrate that the costs are for my business.
Thank you and best regards, Ellen
No, unfortunately not :) You really need to have an invoice, no matter what. Those are the words of my former accountant, and I still remember them. So if the city of Ghent does not want to issue one (which I understand), you will simply not be able to recover the vAT.
But anyway, the damage won't be too bad, right? Because if it's for a passenger car, you can only recover 35% vAT anyway. But vAT that you can't recover is also included in your costs, so you'll have to accept that too.
You really should try it out for yourself. Even if you don’t have a company number yet, you can already go ahead.
