- The FTT refused HMRC’s application to strike out PRB Trading Ltd’s appeal against input VAT denial and penalties.
- HMRC argued the appeal had no reasonable prospect of success, but the FTT found a full hearing was necessary to consider all evidence.
- The tribunal noted that even if the appellant’s case appears weak, it cannot be dismissed without examining all documents and cross-examining witnesses.
- The FTT emphasized the appellant’s right to challenge evidence and to be presumed innocent regarding penalties, citing Article 6 rights.
- The application to strike out was deemed premature and misconceived, as it failed to apply the correct legal test.
