Value Added Tax (VAT) is a 20% standard rate charged on most goods and services in the UK.
The VAT Relief Program allows you to save this 20% tax on qualified single purchases of goods and services totaling £100.00 pounds or more including the VAT. You cannot make partial payments or deposits to the vendor in order to use the VAT program.
USAFE-AFAFRICAI 51-406, Oct 2018.
7.1.1. Invoices containing a number of items, none of which cost more than 100 pounds will only be allowed if they are considered a “set”. To be a “set”, the individual items must be related or interdependent upon one another.
For example, a shirt, four pairs of socks and three vests would not be considered a set as they are not ordinarily worn together. Cases of alcohol (e.g. wine, beer or spirits) where each bottle costs less than 100 pounds will not be considered a set.
This program may be used to purchase alcohol only if each bottle, cask or other container costs 100 pounds or more. You cannot make partial payments or deposits to the vendor in order to use the VAT program.
7.2.1. This program is not authorized for purchases of utility services, real property, such as homes, or for the purchase of motor vehicles, including motorcycles. Repairs and replacements to real property of a like-for-like nature will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis but upgrades or extensions to real property are not allowed.
