VAT on compensation and interest

Assume a debt of £100 overdue for 1 year

Compensation due £40 plus interest £8.50.

As a VAT registered business do I raise an invoice for £48.50 plus VAT or should this be an exempt or zero rated invoice?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Tom

You make a written demand for interest and compensation. Not an invoice. So no VAT is added. In your case, your demand is for £48.50 and increases every day with interest until paid in full.

There is more information here about making a claim for late payment interest and compensation.

David
