- TSI Instruments imported and repaired goods owned by customers, paying import VAT and seeking to reclaim it.
- HMRC refused the VAT reclaim, arguing only the owner of the goods can deduct import VAT.
- The tribunal ruled against TSI, stating only the owner or entity with disposal rights can claim import VAT credit.
- TSI’s claim failed because it did not own the goods and their value was not included in its service price.
- HMRC guidance and legislation confirm only the owner of imported goods can reclaim import VAT.
