- Mr Dowey’s appeal to reclaim input VAT incorrectly charged by his supplier was struck out by the First-tier Tribunal (FTT).
- The FTT ruled it had no jurisdiction because only the person who accounted for VAT to HMRC (the supplier) can claim repayment under s80 VATA 1994.
- As Mr Dowey was the recipient, not the supplier, he had no statutory right of appeal under s83(1)(t) VATA 1994.
- The Tribunal emphasized its jurisdiction is strictly statutory and cannot be extended, even if the outcome is harsh.
- HMRC’s application to strike out the appeal was granted.
