## Notice

VAT Services Overview VAT is charged on a variety of goods and services purchased. The VAT rules and regulations are complex and many invoices that include VAT may be incorrect where VAT is charged in error or the invoice should have been VAT exempted. The services we are looking to procure will be considered at VAT contracted out service ("COS"), whereby the provider reviews all open and paid invoices in relation to the VAT return file, in order to ascertain whether the VAT charged and paid was correct. In many cases, VAT would have been charged incorrectly creating a VAT overpayment or reclaim. These reclaims would then be clawed back from HMRC and repaid to the CCG or CSU. In some cases, VAT may not have been charged or charged incorrectly, an under claim would require the CSU or CCG to pay additional VAT to HMRC due to this error. The service will be provided to all CCG's, as detailed below, together with the CSU 1. Bexley CCG 2. Bromley CCG 3. Croydon CCG 4. Greenwich CCG 5. Guilford & Waverley CCG 6. Kingston CCG 7.
