Tasca Tankers Denied Input VAT and Zero-Rating Due to Fraud Connection and Insufficient Evidence

  • The FTT dismissed Tasca Tankers Ltd’s appeal regarding VAT on second-hand car sales.
  • Input VAT deductions were denied under the Kittel basis because the company knew or should have known the transactions were connected to VAT fraud.
  • Zero-rating was denied due to insufficient evidence proving the cars were removed from the UK and delivered to Ireland.
  • The total VAT under appeal was £394,157.38.
  • The FTT found the company’s documentation unreliable and inadequate to meet legal requirements.
