- The FTT ruled that Nimbus’s provision of the Access Card and electronic entry is a single, indivisible supply aimed at helping disabled persons convey their access needs.
- The predominant element of the supply is the physical Access Card, not the electronic entry or verification process.
- Although ownership of the card remains with Nimbus (no property rights transferred), the supply qualifies as a hire of goods.
- The supply is zero-rated for VAT under VATA 1994, Sch. 8, Group 12, item 2(g), as it is equipment designed solely for use by disabled persons.
- Nimbus’s appeal was allowed, overturning HMRC’s decision.
