VAT on MOT test charges

Recommended Posts

Out of interest (or not) make sure you are being correctly invoiced for MOT tests.We had been subcontracting  MOT’s and PDI’s and a typical bill was for an MOT,oil change and filter,cambelt etc at £x + vat.It was several years later when we realised we had been paying vat on MOT tests which are zero rated.I think we were paying £35 for the MOT’s and we had overpaid a lot of VAT.We tried to reclaim the VAT but we just gave up after being passed around various HMRC offices...So just in case,make sure you are being correctly invoiced as MOT tests carried out direct to you from a testing station are zero rated.

If your garage uses another garage for MOT's they are legally entitled to charge you VAT.
