UT Dismisses H Ripley & Co’s Appeal on VAT Zero-Rate Due to Insufficient Export Evidence

The UT dismissed the appeal by H Ripley & Co against the FTT’s decision on VAT zero-rating for scrap metal transactions.
The company claimed goods were exported to Belgium and should be zero-rated.
The FTT found the evidence insufficient to meet HMRC’s conditions for proof of export.
The company appealed on six grounds, including delay in decision, legal errors, and evidence handling.
The UT rejected all grounds and upheld the FTT’s decision.
