The retailer accepted coupons issued through newspapers against part of the purchase price of goods. The discount was recovered from the manufacturers on surrender of the coupons. They paid VAT on the discounted value, relying upon Gibbs. The commissioners sought VAT on the amount before the discount. Held: The claimant had misinterpreted the Gibbs case. The manufacturer was in this case a third party to the transaction between the customer and shop. That part of the purchase price was payable later by a third party did not affect the VAT situation on that purchase, and VAT was payable by the retailer on the full amount. Where a retailer allowed the consumer to settle the sale price partly in cash and partly by means of a reduction coupon issued by the manufacturer of a product, which then reimbursed to the retailer the amount indicated on the coupon, the nominal value of the coupon so reimbursed fell to be included in the amount subject to VAT on the retail sale to the consumer

VAT, Customs and Excise
The Commissioners had seized a lorry which had been carrying goods on which duty had not been paid. The respondent asked them to review their decision under section 14. They failed to give their determination and under section 15, were deemed to have upheld their decision. The respondent then appealed to the tribunal, but the commissioners relied upon different grounds at the tribunal. Held: The commissioners were not to be deemed to have upheld their initial decision on the same grounds, and were not prevented from presenting additional or different grounds. However, once requested for the grounds of the deemed decision, they were under a duty then to give their reasons. This was necessary to allow the respondent to consider whether to appeal. The decision to seize was disproportionate, but the tribunal had acted beyond its powers in ordering restoration. Case remitted.
The issue was whether the Commissioners were correct to revoke the BTI. Commissioners commonly adopted new legal arguments in the course of an appeal to the Tribunal. Accordingly, the Tribunal said, "we do not consider that the revocation decision is invalid because the Commissioners put forward different reasons, in the light of the annulment of the Regulation for the classification being wrong, as they had always contended"

The court identified the need to give an autonomous meaning to the phrase "supply of goods" in article 5(1) of the Sixth Directive as follows: "….. it is clear from the wording of that provision that 'supply of goods' does not refer to the transfer of ownership in accordance with the provisions prescribed by the applicable national law but covers any transfer of tangible property by one party which empowers the other party to dispose of it as if he were the owner of the property. The purpose of the Sixth Directive might be jeopardised if the preconditions for a supply of goods ….. varied from one Member State to another, as do the conditions governing the transfer of ownership under civil law."

VAT
The taxpayers were motor traders. On agreeing a sale package with a customer, they issued to the customer a voucher worth more than the agreed trade-in value, to be used as credit against the purchase from the taxpayer. They also gave customers MOT vouchers. At first instance, the judge held that neither voucher increased VAT liability, which was to be assessed only on the money paid by the customer plus the agreed trade-in value. The commissioners appealed. Held: The appeal was allowed in part. Though the monetary equivalent attributable to the agreed part exchange was the value to be attributed towards the replacement, the 'purchase-plus' vouchers provided an over-allowance for the trade-in vehicle and, to calculate the VAT chargeable, had no monetary value and did not increase the consideration paid to the taxpayers for their supply. The MOT vouchers were not granted to a customer for a consideration to which the Act applied and the consideration on which VAT was payable was increased by the value of the vouchers.

The claimant challenged a charge to interest on unpaid VAT. He had made a return but later established that the goods had been exported to an EU member state and thus were zero-rated. Held: The was still liable to pay interest. The subsequent establishment of zero-rating did not help him to avoid paying interest on the previous standard rate assessment. The goods did not become zero-rated ab initio, but were standard rated until the became zero-rated at the point when their destination was established.

The Commissioners had been ordered to repay VAT to the taxpayer. A subsequent decision of the ECJ meant that the sum should have been repaid to the Commissioners. The taxpayer now alleged that the commissioners were out of the two year maximum time to make the reclaim under the Act. Held: The decision of the European Court was for these purposes more than an act of law, but was also a fact giving rise to the right to reclaim, and time ran from that decision. The commissioners were not out of time.

The Tribunal described the general nature of a carousel fraud: "In its simplest form a carousel fraud works in this way. A VAT-registered trader, A, in one European Union member state sells taxable goods to a VAT-registered trader, B, in another member state. A's sale to B is zero-rated in A's member state".
"According to article 28c (A) (a) of the Sixth Directive, the supply of goods to an operator in another member state is exempted from VAT. In the wording of the United Kingdom Value Added Tax Act 1994, the supply is "zero-rated". B should declare the purchase and pay acquisition tax in its own member state and on the premise that it is intending to use those goods in order to make onward taxable supply, then claim credit for the same amount as input tax. Usually, if it is a participant in a carousel fraud, it does neither. B then sells the goods to another VAT-registered trader C, in its own member state, charging and receiving VAT on the consideration. However, it fails to account to the tax authorities for that VAT and effectively disappears; it becomes what the commissioners refer to as a "missing trader". Nevertheless, at the time of making its sale to C, while it is still registered for VAT and before the commissioners are aware that it is or might become a missing trader and had been able to intervene … it provides a VAT invoice to C, which claims the VAT it has paid to B as input tax. C (to whom the commissioners refer as a "broker") then sells the goods to registered trader in another member state: the hallmark of the simplest fraud is that this purchaser is A, and it is this circularity which gives rise to the "carousel fraud". C has an input tax to claim but, because its sale to A is zero-rated in C's own member state is not required to account for any output tax. As noted above, the supply of goods to an operator in another member state is exempted from VAT. The vendor is entitled to recover input tax pursuant to article 17(2) (d) of the Sixth Directive as inserted by article 28f(1) thereof. The result, if the fraud is successful is that B has received, but not accounted for the VAT which the tax authorities must pay to C…. The goods are no more than a token, necessary to lend verisimilitude to the transactions…A (at least, if it is participant in the fraud) likewise has no genuine business motive in buying back that which it has sold."

The landlord had elected to waive exemption to charging VAT on its lettings. The tenant relet the demised premises, but at first without charging VAT. It later charged VAT on the sublease, but the commissioners objected to the attempt of the claimants under regulation 109 to reclaim the VAT it had itself paid before that change. Held: The grant of an interest in land was zero rated unless the Landlord elected to waive exemption. That exemption not having been chosen, the head landlord had charged VAT on its rents. Regulation 109 required an intention to use the inputs in order itself to make a supply of taxable sub-leases, and the change had to relate to specific goods or services. If the letting was seen as a single supply, then the change would be about the entire supply, and the tax payer would succeed. If the lease was a successive series of supplies, the change could only apply to the periods directly affected, and not any earlier period. The second way wa sthe apporach adopted by the regulations generally. The supply of an exempt service and of a non-exempt service should in any event be seen as separate supplies.

ECJ Sixth VAT Directive - Article 13B(b) - Exempt transactions - Letting of immovable property - Meaning - Cigarette vending machines installed in commercial premises.
The claimants installed cigarette vending machines on shop premises, with the shop-owners taking a proportion of the takings. They claimed exemption from VAT on the agreements as being 'lettings of immovable property.' Held: The agreements were not such lettings of immoveable property, and were liable to VAT. The agreements were not lettings of a space for occupation, and the actual position occupied was not material to the agreement, the rights only operated whilst the shop was open, and there was no right to exclude the 'landlord'.

VAT
The taxpayer had a loyalty scheme under which they issued vouchers to shoppers who had purchased goods to a certain value. They sought to deduct the sums when accounting for VAT. Held: Upon earning 150 loyalty points in a quarter, vouchers were given to customers, and there were other schemes. The entire cycle of transactions was to be considered objectively without regard to what the customer thought was being purchased. Para 5 had effect where there was a grant for a consideration of a right to receive goods for an amount stated on a voucher quantifying that right. The paragraph could not apply without a token, but a token did not guarantee its applicability. The issue of a voucher was a separate procedure from the original purchases, and the customer had not purchased the voucher. The paragraph did not apply. The existence of consideration under English law may not suffice to show consideration for the purposes of European VAT law.

VAT, European
The company sought to reclaim overpaid VAT. Held: If the UK government had failed properly to implement the directive, then a person affected had the right to claim the benefit of direct enforceability. However, the directive itself was neither clear nor precise, and therefore it could not benefit from direct applicability.

VAT, Administrative
The applicant sought to challenge a decision of the respondent not to charge a US competitor trading within the UK to VAT. They complained that the decision had been affected by irrelevant considerations. Held: A supplier making supplies from outside the UK, is not bound to account for VAT on that supply of services to a UK consumer, except in the supply of telecom services from outside the United Kingdom. Here the letter announcing the decision was not a formal record of decision, but rather explanatory. A proper assessment of the relevant issues appeared to have taken place. The decision not to charge AOL to VAT gave them a substantial competitive advantage, but the commissioners were sensible to allow for forthcoming changes which would remove that advantage. Had it been necessary to make a finding, the court would also have disputed the claimant's standing to make the complaint.

The Hon Mr Justice Lightman
VAT, Education
The college appealed a finding that the supply of course manuals to its students was part of its exempt rather than zero-rated supply. Held: "Once it is decided that there is a single supply from an economic view which should not be artificially split, the character of the principal supply must be determined and this in turn determines the character of the supplies of the ancillary supplies." There was a single supply of its services as a distance learning college to its students, of the goods and services, its teaching and examination services and the printed matter. This was reflected in the single price paid for all of them. That single supply should not be artificially split into supplies of its component parts. The principal supply in this case was of education and examination services. The supply of the printed matter was a component part of that single supply, not an add-on supply.

Lord Justice Mantell Lord Phillips Of Worth Matravers, Mr Lord Justice Jacob
VAT, Land, Construction
The land owner had elected to pay VAT on the purchase of land. It sought to recover that VAT. The Commissioners appealed an order allowing that. Held: Ther were three transactions, the purchase, the sale, and a development contract. The input tax paid in carrying out the building contract were recoverable. Was the land therefore used 'for the purpose of the taxpayer's taxable transaction", namely the development contract? The cost of the land was not a component of the costs in the same way that the materials were. The mere commercial link was insufficient. The transactions had to be looked at separately in VAT law, component by component.

Medical examinations and reports prepared by doctors for litigation were not exempt from VAT. The test was as to the preponderant purpose, and where that purpose remained therapeutic, it retained its exemption, but where any therapeutic effect was secondary, as was generally the case when a report was prepared for legal proceedings, any exemption was lost.

VAT
When taking a car in part exchange, the company would initially offer the correct market value. If the customer wanted, the company would agree a higher price. When cars were returned, the company at first reclaimed the VAT on the re-purchase price, but then submitted a rebate claim based upon the market value, the 'non-monetary consideration', which was a 'subjective value', in this case the value which the parties had expressly adoptd adopted to the goods on th first sale. The value of a part-exchange car was to be taken to be the full part-exchange price as agreed and not 'true value'. That latter value served only to limit any possible refund. The part-exchange price could not properly be characterised as part of a discount on the price of the replacement car. Appeal dismissed
