Those who have relied on previous (incorrect) HMRC guidance (unless there was a specific ruling) will need to go back and correct the application of VAT.

Previous guidance indicated that some payments such as liquidated damages and payments for breech of contract were outside the scope of VAT, but these are now considered to be within the scope of VAT.
