Last year, while in the capital on business, I hired a car and failed to pay the London congestion charge. The fine was £50 which was charged to the hire company and paid by it.
The hire company then kindly sent me an invoice which slapped a £35 'administration fee' onto the original congestion charge (in accordance with the hire terms). The hire company has then gone on to charge VAT on the total amount of £85. Is it right to do this?
