Company Liable for Unpaid Import VAT Due to EORI Confusion and Lack of Evidence, Appeal Dismissed

  • Best Cosmetics Ltd’s appeal against HMRC’s demand for unpaid import VAT was dismissed.
  • The company’s EORI number was used for imports by another company with common directors, but no evidence showed the postponed VAT was accounted for.
  • Both companies had deregistered for VAT, and neither could prove the VAT was declared in their returns.
  • The tribunal found the postponed import VAT remained due and payable by Best Cosmetics Ltd.
