    Hi .i am having problem with this question..
    Input tax of £14 720 was incurred for expenses.
    In addition, Long Ltd has discovered that it has not been claiming for input vat of £18 which it has paid each month since 1 January 2014 for hire of photocopier machine. What is input tax recoverable for quarter ended 31 march 2020?

    Claim should be 4 years for nca..but in answer it accounts for 4 yrs and 3 months for photocopier machine. Why is it so?

    Where it is discovered that VAT has been overpaid in the past, the time limit for claiming a refund is four years from the date by which the return for the accounting period was due.
    You have not supplied sufficient information – I will need to see full answer – is there no explanatory note in the answer?

    Scenario
    Input vat of £14720 was incurred in respect of expenses
    In addition to above, long ltd has discovered that it has not been claiming input vat of £18 which it has paid each month since 1 Jan 2014 for hire of a photocopier.
    Question is what is the amount of tax recoverable by long ltd for quarter ended 31 March 2020?
    Answer is
    Expenses= 14720
    Hire of photocopier =918
    18 *((4yrs * 12= 48 months)+3months )

    Refunds of vat are subject to 4 yr time limit so input vat for hire of photocopier incurred during quarter ended 31 march 2020,long ltd can also claim input vat incurred during 1 jan 2016 to 31 dec 2019

    Many thanks in advance for replying Sir

    The 4 year period is simply the 4 years BEFORE the current VAT Return period

    Dear Sir.
    I understand the 4 yr claim..but why does the answer consider 3 additional months?

    There is NO additional 3 month period – please look again at my previous answer where I have put in capitals the important word:
    “The 4 year period is simply the 4 years BEFORE the current VAT Return period”
