Unfortunately, without a store receipt, which shows proof of purchase, we cannot proceed with a Business VAT Invoice Request.

Requests will be processed within 21 days of receipt of the request.

If there is an error on your invoice, please contact Customer Service and provide the invoice reference number, date of issue and an explanation of the error.

If you require a copy of a previously issued Business VAT invoice, please contact Customer Service and provide your company name, VAT number and the date you originally requested the invoice.

As points do not have a cash value, VAT cannot be reclaimed on purchases made in full using Rewards points. Where Rewards points have been used to make a purchase in part, VAT will be calculated on the remaining value after the Rewards points have been deducted.
