Splend SPV (UK) Ltd v HMRC: VAT Late Payment Penalties Tribunal Decision 2026

  • The case concerns Splend SPV (UK) Ltd appealing against late payment penalties (LPPs) for late VAT payment.
  • The Tribunal considered whether the penalties were valid, if the appellant had a reasonable excuse, if payment was made promptly after the excuse ended, and if HMRC’s decision on penalty reduction was flawed.
  • Both parties agreed the VAT payment was late, no ‘Time to Pay’ agreement was requested, and the penalty criteria and calculations were correct.
  • The hearing was held publicly via video, with both parties represented (the appellant by company officers, HMRC by a solicitor).
