UK How to correctly declare a loss with regards toVAT

[mil316]

United Kingdom

I have a n inventory item that has been lost.

When putting it to loss do I claim the entire amount including vat as an expense or do I declare the ex vat rate for the item and claim input vat for the vat part of the item?

assuming you're VAT registered, you should be doing input/output VAT as part of your VAT return. I'm not sure what loss of an item has to do with it.
