- Airline Placement Ltd sponsored training for trainee pilots and placed them with commercial airlines upon qualification. Commercial airlines paid APL a placement fee equal to the training cost and accounted for VAT. Trainee pilots provided APL with a bond equal to the training cost, which was passed to the airline upon placement. HMRC argued the bond was consideration for training and subject to VAT, while APL claimed it was for ensuring commitment. The FTT dismissed APL’s appeal, ruling the bond was part of the training consideration, but allowed partial appeal regarding services outside the UK.
