Vat only claimable if goods purchased for purpose of making taxable supplies. If only part used then

input vat.
Only fringe benefits and indemnity payments in output vat are apportioned.
Vat levied on imported goods :
customs value + 10% + customs duty + import charges x 14% = vat payable
If imported services then must pay vat on portion that is used for exempt supplies NOT if used for
vatable supplies
If vendor has paid vat on imported services then can’t claim it back as input tax – cos it is non-taxable
supply.
