UK Tax Tribunal Rules Intravenous Vitamin Drips Exempt from VAT as Medical Care Supplies

• The UK First-Tier Tax Tribunal issued a judgment on May 1 in Case No. TC09509
• The case involved VAT exemption for medical care supplies
• The taxpayer was a medical supply company providing intravenous vitamin drips and injectable vitamin booster shots
• The Tax Agency initially determined these supplies were subject to the standard VAT rate
• The taxpayer appealed, claiming the supplies should be exempt as medical care under the VAT Act
• The Tax Tribunal found the supplies constituted medical care as they involved diagnosing and treating health disorders
• The supplies were therefore subject to the VAT exemption
