- The FTT extended the stay on Uber London Ltd’s VAT case pending the outcome of the Bolt Services UK Ltd appeal.
- Uber’s request to make the stay conditional on the return of VAT sums deposited under VATA 1994, s. 84(3) was refused.
- The FTT held that Uber’s appeal is “being entertained” as required by s. 84(3) because the sums have already been deposited.
- The FTT acknowledged Uber’s financial hardship but prioritized HMRC’s need to protect revenue due to the scale and uncertainty of the case.
- The stay remains in place as the outcome of the Bolt appeal is expected to materially assist in determining Uber’s case.
