Luxurico Ltd Wins VAT Recovery on Hypercar Import Appeal

  • In Luxurico Ltd v HMRC [2026] UKFTT 1252 (TC), the First-tier Tribunal allowed Luxurico’s appeal over input VAT recovery on a flagship Hypercar.
  • HMRC had refused the input VAT claim.
  • The Tribunal found Luxurico’s main intention when acquiring and importing the car in November 2020 was commercial self-drive hire or hire with a driver.
  • Because of that, the input tax restriction under Article 7(1) did not apply.
  • Luxurico was therefore entitled to full recovery of the input VAT.
