This case concerned the appellant, Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (the Trust), applying for a judicial review of HMRC’s decision that the Trust was not entitled to a VAT refund. Contracted-Out Services Direction (COSD) allows VAT refunds on the operation of healthcare facilities and the provision of any related services. The Trust had an agreement in place with Genmed. Under this agreement, Genmed supplied managed surgical theatre facility services including various different elements.
