- Go City has had a difficult relationship with HMRC regarding the correct VAT treatment of its London Pass
- In 2019, Go City restructured the London Pass to provide customers with “credits” for entry to sites/activities
- HMRC argued that VAT was due in full on the purchase of the Pass, while Go City contended it was only due when the Passes were used
- The FTT accepted Go City’s arguments that VAT was only payable when credits were redeemed
- The decision also determined that HMRC’s protective assessments were not valid without a determined view on VAT returns.
