CLAIM VAT - Parish Council

Question

Good Morning

Just wondering how often Parish councils claim VAT back.  I have researched and they advise yearly, unless you have a very large purchase and you wish to claim vat back before then.  What do other councils do.  Our precept is £84,000
Advice please

Answer 1

We do a quarterly VAT reclaim (£60,000 precept).

Answer 2

we do it quarterly too as we are VAT registered and get reminded to do so (£174k precept)
