- Reduced value rule allows hotels to charge VAT on only part of amounts invoiced to long-term guests
- Isle of Man High Court ruled that reduced value rule applies to serviced accommodation at The Quarters in London
- BLS1 Ltd arranged for cleaning, changing of towels and linen, and provided basic amenities in studio apartments
- High Court determined that The Quarters was similar to a hotel, allowing for application of reduced value rule
- Tribunal’s focus should have been on whether The Quarters was a similar establishment to a hotel, not on other factors
- BLS1’s appeal was allowed as it correctly applied the reduced value rule to services provided to long-term occupants.
