> So this is a yes + yes from you. No - it's a yes + no. To get the VAT portion of your tax bill back/decreased back, you need to be a VAT registered business, trading with another VAT registered business, and you need invoices to prove this trade. Its not like the tax departments check every invoice, but if you got audited and you didn't have them, you'd be done for tax fraud. > I also tend to think that I could use the service and be able to deduct the expense from my earnings. That's not like a tax break to be clear, that's just not being a profitable business.
