- Genuine Care Homecare Services Ltd (GCHS) lost its appeal against HMRC regarding VAT assessments related to staff supplied by a Slovak entity, Atena.
- The tribunal found GCHS should have registered for VAT earlier and accounted for the supply under the reverse charge mechanism.
- Arguments that the supply was outside UK VAT scope, that GCHS was an agent, or that welfare services were supplied (not staff) were all rejected.
- The assessments were made within the correct time limits.
- GCHS did not have a reasonable excuse for failing to notify HMRC, so the penalty and its amount were upheld.
