- TalkTalk Telecom Ltd’s appeal against HMRC regarding VAT discounts for prompt payment was dismissed by the Upper Tribunal
- The case involved a Speedy Payment Discount (SPD) offered by TalkTalk to retail customers
- The Tribunal ruled that VAT should be calculated on the full billed amount, not the discounted amount
- The terms of service did not allow for the SPD to be considered a discount for prompt payment
- TalkTalk was assessed for underpaid VAT amounting to £10,606,226 due to the incorrect application of the SPD
