Hi,
Was wondering if there is any obligation on suppliers to pass on this charge legally?
What is the exact wording on the agreement that you signed?
Heres what to do.
Ask for a VAT invoice NOW. Then they have to include VAT at todays rate. They cannot assume a future VAT rate today. This will show something like
Cost €1000
Vat @ 13.5% = €135
Total €1135
So the vendor gets €1000 and revenue get the €135
When it comes to paying for the service get another VAT invoice.
They should not be able to change the €100 they are charging you.
So at the new VAT rate you get
Cost €1000
Vat @ 9% = €90
Total €1090
Now the vendor still gets €1000 but revenue get the €90.
If the vendor keeps the difference they are charging you a different price and breaking your contract.
If you get VAT invoices now and when you pay for the service, they cannot possibly pocket the difference on you.
Very strange advice, which should be treated with extreme caution. Issuing VAT invoices twice in relation to a single transaction would represent, in my opinion, a very serious breach of VAT laws.
I've spoken with a number of service providers in this space.
Some intend passing on the VAT reduction while others do not.
The overriding attitude is that they've taken a horrendous amount of pain over the last few years and their prices have been adjusted accordingly. The costs associated with updating menus and websites alone would be prohibitive.
In the OP's case, I don't believe she's any basis for seeking a price reduction. Having said that, if you don't ask you don't get.
Rubbish. Just like your last post in this thread.
Its not uncommon to get VAT invoices more than once. Its also not uncommon to get a VAT invoice and then a receipt with the vat on it either.
Please shows us the "VAT laws" that are breached?
And if they are worried, because of your post, then all they need to do is get their quote to state the VAT rate. eg €1135 inc VAT @ 13.5%
Minion, you do not appear to know what you're talking about.
It's an offence to issue multiple VAT invoices. It's a breach of the VAT acts.
I know that when I booked my own wedding, there was no mention of VAT whatsoever (i.e. the price was the price). That would be normal in pretty much all circumstances for sales to non VAT registered private individuals.

This i not a B2B transaction.
Get a receipt/quote that shows the VAT rate. That is not an offence.
You are allowed to do this.
Minion, with all due respect your advice is all over the place. The points raised by T McGibney and myself are entirely valid. You're using loose language and referring to VAT invoices, quotes and receipts as if they're interchangeable terms. In one of the above posts you're advocating the issuing of multiple VAT invoices but then subsequent to that you "back up the truck".
And just for yourselves.
INVOICE :
"An invoice or bill is a commercial document issued by a seller to the buyer, indicating the products, quantities, and agreed prices for products or services the seller has provided the buyer. An invoice indicates the buyer must pay the seller, according to the payment terms. The buyer has a maximum amount of days to pay these goods and are sometimes offered a discount if paid before."
Simple question.
Simple solution.
Yet some people insist on beating about the bush and not even attempt to answer the question for the OP. Typical of accountants, solicitors etc really. Complicate things far beyond how complicated issues need to be.
OP, im sure you can figure out how to help yourself from this thread. Theres really nothing to it.
