VAT issue

Question

I have a VAT number and I purchased some household stuff but my accountant said that you cant get back this VAT amount, as its not your professional expense. Please advise, is it true that we cant get back the VAT amount, which we paid for our private things.

Sounds fair, why should other people who have bought personal items not be allowed a refund of VAT when someone with a business is. If it were the case, the entire Belgian population would have VAT numbers in order to claim back the VAT they pay!
