- The UK First-Tier Tax Tribunal issued a judgment on May 1 in Case No. TC09505.
- The case involved additional import VAT for advance payments on bottled water imported from Turkey.
- The Tax Agency claimed the taxpayer under-declared the value of the imports.
- The taxpayer argued the payments were advance payments for better pricing, not for specific goods.
- The Tax Tribunal allowed the taxpayer’s appeal.
- The Tribunal found the payments were not for specific goods and were not sufficient to impose additional VAT.
- The size of a payment alone does not determine additional tax liability.
