Can I claim back VAT on a privately-bought van?
I'm buying a 2023 Peugeot Partner that is private and the VAT was paid on it at the time. Can I (being VAT registered) claim it back?

Hi Kev,
It's probably worth double-checking this with your accountant, but our understanding is that you can only claim back VAT you have paid yourself and for which you have a VAT invoice.
