11.5.1

if the relevant sum constitutes for VAT purposes a reimbursement to Nomad of any amount incurred by Nomad for the supply of goods or services (otherwise than within clause 11.5.2), a sum equal to the proportion of the VAT element which Nomad certifies represents irrecoverable input tax in the hands of Nomad, that certificate to be conclusive in the absence of manifest error; or

if the relevant sum constitutes for VAT purposes a disbursement and is a reimbursement of an amount incurred by Nomad as agent for the Company, a sum equal to the whole of the VAT element.
