VAT on our Charges
VAT will normally be added to the amount of our charges at the current standard rate of 20%.
However, there may be circumstances where we do not have to add VAT to our charges. That would normally be if you have instructed us from abroad and the transaction does not relate to land, but please contact us at the outset of your case to discuss whether VAT will be added to the amount of our charges
VAT on Disbursements
Disbursements are payments that we make to people or organisations for work they undertake or services they provide in connection with your matter.
VAT is normally added to disbursements by the person or organisation undertaking the work or providing the service at the standard rate, currently 20%.
However, VAT is not payable upon all disbursements. For example, it is not normally payable on fees payable to Central or Local Government, including Court fees, Land Registry fees or for a copy of a marriage certificate.
Whether VAT will be added to other disbursements will depend upon the type of disbursement involved and whether the person or organisation undertaking the work or providing the service is registered for VAT. For example, some private detectives and some junior barristers will be registered for VAT, but others will not.
Please contact us now or at any stage during your matter to discuss whether VAT is likely to be charged on disbursements.
