Wrongly charged VAT

I pay a monthly amount for a stable and field. The owner is charging VAT as a separate amount on the bill but isn't VAT registered. Is this OK? If not, can I reclaim the VAT element from her?

    No it is not ok.

    What have you said to them?
  • Hi. I haven't said anything yet - she's quite a scary person! I've been paying her vat for about 2 years as have others on the yard. She splits what normal livery yards would charge as a single amount - in my case £100 pcm - into two amounts: a lower monthly fee + vat to make it up to £100 Thanks for responding

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

  • Thank you for responding. Thing is can I get back the vat amount I've paid to her? She hasn't just ripped off Hmrc she's taken my money - and everyone else's - under false pretences I will report her once I've got my ponies safely away
