- HBS Enterprises Ltd is a UK VAT-registered online retailer selling goods through an online marketplace.
- The marketplace treated HBS as a non-established taxable person and applied the deemed supplier rules, accounting for VAT and deducting it from payments to HBS.
- The First-tier Tribunal held that HBS was UK-established, so the deemed supplier rules did not apply and HBS remained responsible for the UK VAT.
- HBS’s appeal against HMRC’s assessment was allowed in part because HMRC made errors in calculating the assessment.
