- HMRC has revised its VAT rules for UK businesses with EU branches, reversing its previous position following the Skandia judgment.
- From 26 November 2025, UK VAT groups no longer need to apply the reverse charge on intra-group services with their EU establishments.
- Businesses can claim back UK VAT paid under the old reverse charge rules for the past four years.
- The change offers potential VAT savings, especially for financial services and partially exempt groups.
- Businesses should still consider anti-avoidance rules under section 43(2A) of the VAT Act 1994.
