VAT on Till Receipts

[JANE B]

Can someone please remind me of the rules regarding claiming VAT back on till receipts. Some till receipts show the vat amount, others show their vat number but no vat amount and some have no vat mention at all. My boss thinks I can claim up to a certain limit, but I am not sure. Many thanks.

They are called 'less detailed invoice'. The receipt can show the gross amount including VAT if it is below £250. You to be able to do the manual 7/47 calulation to recover the VAT but it must show the VAT registration number on the receipt.
