 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? November 25, 2020 at 12:34 pm #596396Where 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?November 25, 2020 at 6:56 pm #596454Scenario 
 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 November 26, 2020 at 8:31 am #596491The 4 year period is simply the 4 years BEFORE the current VAT Return period November 26, 2020 at 1:12 pm #596537Dear Sir. 
 I understand the 4 yr claim..but why does the answer consider 3 additional months?November 30, 2020 at 10:49 am #597107There 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”
