- The First-tier Tribunal ruled in favor of Story Terrace Limited regarding VAT treatment of its services.
- Story Terrace creates biographies using ghost writers; HMRC claimed this was a standard-rated writing service.
- The Tribunal decided the main supply was the finished book, not the writing service.
- The appeal was allowed, meaning the supplies are zero-rated as books.
- The case highlights that VAT liability depends on what the customer is actually purchasing.
