VAT – input tax – absence of valid invoices – refusal by HMRC to allow input tax claims – absence of reconsideration – whether original decision reasonable – finding by FTT that unreasonable – conclusion by FTT that decision would have been the same had HMRC acted reasonably – nature of jurisdiction – whether FTT’s finding that supplies were made in relevant transactions was perverse – unclear what matters taken into account in arriving at that finding – appeal remitted to FTT to make appropriate findings.
