- The case addressed whether HMRC’s VAT assessments for Jeneruhl Trade Ltd were issued within the statutory one-year time limit.
- HMRC denied £915,621 in input tax, alleging Jeneruhl’s transactions were linked to VAT fraud and that the company knew or should have known (Kittel principle).
- The Tribunal found the assessments were timely, as HMRC received key evidence within the year before assessment, including trading pattern information and public red flags about suppliers.
- The Tribunal rejected Jeneruhl’s claim that HMRC acted irrationally, finding the officer’s actions reasonable and proactive.
