- SM Development North West Ltd’s appeal to recover input VAT was dismissed.
- Many invoices related to supplies before the company’s VAT registration date, making them ineligible.
- Invoices after registration did not meet regulatory requirements, and alternative evidence was inadequate.
- The company failed to provide sufficient proof or valid alternative evidence for input VAT recovery.
- HMRC’s refusal to accept the claim was found reasonable, and the company is not entitled to the input tax claimed.
