No, they are not. I'm creating the invoices for the expenses spent related to customer job. So i'm listing the expenses and that's it

I don't think you can charge VAT on these as you are only recharging expenses and not supplying any services or goods.

I''m going to disagree and say that you do need to add VAT. They are not expenses that can be classed as disbursements for VAT.

The relevant page of the HMRC site is here:

I agree with Ruth - there should be VAT added.

I agree with Ruth, although the original charges may be exempt from VAT, once a VAT registered company "sells them on" they become part of the service and attract VAT.
