- The UK Tax Tribunal ruled on a case involving VAT fraud by a labor supplier.
- The taxpayer, a VAT registered company, claimed input VAT deductions against the loss caused by the supplier’s fraud.
- The Tax Agency denied the deductions, sought deregistration, and imposed penalties, claiming the taxpayer knew or should have known about the fraud.
- The Tax Tribunal disagreed, finding the Tax Agency failed to prove the taxpayer’s knowledge of the fraud.
