- Aesthetic-Doctor.com Limited (ADCL) has lost a VAT Tribunal case and faces a £1.6 Million VAT bill.
- HMRC usually exempts cosmetic services from VAT if they are part of a healthcare treatment program.
- ADCL failed to meet the criteria for VAT exemption as the services did not qualify as “medical care.”
- ADCL argued that the services had a therapeutic purpose, but the Tribunal did not find sufficient evidence to support this claim.
- The Tribunal concluded that the services provided by ADCL were not considered medical care.
