Parking receipt

EVC

Question

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.
