HI
So I would like to know if I were to purchase a MacBook Pro from the education store online or in store , can I then claim VAT back as well? Either through export or business ?
thanks
If you claim to use this for personal educational use, claiming business use or exporting it to get back VAT would be fraudulent.
So, NO.
So technically it is possible but would be fraud ? Also, so can one not buy it as a student but use for business as well , therefore just being able to claim vat since there is VAT on the products through education store ?
It would depend on your location, especially since there are different countries with different VAT regulations. That would be a question to ask a tax professional. The same as determining a percentage of use of a device as personal and business. Here in the US, that would allow you to deduct a percentage of the cost of the device as a business expense, but generally multi-use items like that end up getting the least percentage use, and it makes you have to keep detailed records to justify the percentages.
And to be honest, I don't think you would qualify for the Education store as a business expense unless you were a teacher/university employee, etc.. Using a student discount would have to be as a student, not a business expense.
Thats an awful long way to say... No
hah
thanks for your help
