A classic example might be postage. Its zero rated, so you can't claim
VAT back, but if you invoice the customer for the postage, then you
must charge VAT.

At one time we used to get invoices where the carriage was shown after
the VAT had been added.

They may be treating that as a disbursement - i.e. purchasing carriage
on your behalf as an agent, then passing the cost onto you. In those
circumstance there is no need to show a breakdown of VAT on that item.

(carriage (as opposed to postage) is likely to be VAT rated anyway)
