Invoice expenses VAT exemption – now subject to VAT

Hmmm, I'm afraid you'll have to continue with the document as it is... If that Dutch supplier doesn't want to issue you a new document, there's not much else you can do :s

But if it's a printer, the 'loss' of that vAT won't be too bad... I hope so, for your sake :)

You can certainly enter it as an expense in your accounts. From the moment you have paid for something, it is for professional purposes and you have a document to prove it, then it can be entered in your accounts as an expense. Foreign vAT can also be included in your accounts as an expense. vAT that you cannot recover, for whatever reason (for example, because it was wrongly charged by your Dutch supplier), can therefore be included in your accounts. Provided it is for professional purposes, of course, but I think that is the case based on your example.

Okay, thank you very much for your answer and the information!
