I purchased an investment property in 2007. Is it too late to claim vat back on this purchase?
 
Simple answer no, the time limit for reclaiming VAT is 4 years.

[broken link removed]

Section 10.14
 
That and the fact that you can't backdate a VAT registration and you can't recover the VAT on Residential property since April 2007.

Fair Point, but OP could have been VAT registered in 2007 and he didnt say was specifcally residential property.
 
Hi guys,

I'm registered for VAT and was registered back then also. The property was an investment bought in 2007.

When you bought it in 2007 what was your intention i.e to what use did you intend to put the property? And can you prove this intention.

And to what use did you ultimately put the property?
 
@bazermc you are 100% correct, that was an assumption on my part, my comments only relate to residential property.

@kerrigan is it residential or commercial property?
 
It was purchased as a residential investment property. The purpose was to get tenants in and start renting it immediately. The recession hit and I've had nothing but problems trying to rent it since.
