Hi guys,
I'm planning ahead here, but I have a couple of questions to ask.
So a HE student in the UK gets a 15% bonus as part of a UK contractual agreement with the government - something you can have a look at HERE.
What I was wondering was that if I apply this discount, would I still be eligible to claim back UK VAT as a business product?
For instance, say I was sponsored through University by a small business for my degree, could I make use of the fact that they're VAT registered and say that the MBP was for work too?
This would make the £1800 15" MPB £1530 with HE discounts, and on top of that I could claim back up to 20% in vat, totalling a notebook that's looking at about £1200 as opposed to £1800.
Perhaps I'm just getting hopeful and carried away, but I wouldn't mind seeing a bill for £1200 instead of £1800 for such a piece of kit.
Thanks for any knowledge in advance,
Adam
