Are Cosmetic Skin Treatments Exempt Medical Care?

  • Skin Science case in the First Tier Tribunal (FTT) discussed whether cosmetic skin treatments are exempt from VAT as medical care
  • Skin Science clinic run by Registered General Nurse (RGN) at 10 Harley Street, London
  • Treatments provided by Skin Science included fillers, injections, peels, and other cosmetic procedures
  • Skin Science argued treatments were exempt from VAT as they were aimed at treating recognized medical conditions
  • HMRC contended treatments were standard rated as they were primarily cosmetic and did not meet exemption requirements
  • Decision was made based on the purpose of the medical intervention rather than the qualifications of the provider
