A ‘taxable supply’ within the Act did not include an out-of-country supply, even if, had that supply been made within the UK, it would have been taxable. Advertising services provided a German company were deemed to have been made in Germany, and was out-of-country. Other services of the applicant were exempt, and therefore the company was unable to deduct tax for payments of VAT residual inputs, for supplies purchased and used for the general purposes of the taxable person. The method chosen for calculating the apportionment excluded out-of-country supplies.
