- HMRC published Revenue and Customs Brief 7 (2025) revising VAT grouping rules for overseas establishments in UK VAT groups, following the Skandia judgment.
- From 26 November 2025, overseas establishments of UK VAT group members will be treated as part of the UK VAT group, even if located in EU countries with ‘establishment-only’ VAT grouping regimes.
- This change reverses previous HMRC guidance that required certain intra-entity supplies to be treated as taxable and subject to the reverse charge.
- Businesses that overpaid VAT under the old rules are invited to submit error correction notifications to reclaim overpaid amounts.
