Example:

A law firm needs to pay court fees on behalf of their client - a business. The law firm pays the court fees and then issues a disbursement invoice to the business for the exact amount of the court fees.

It’s important to note that a disbursement does not constitute a supply and hence, is not subject to VAT.
