Royaume-Uni - VAT grouping - The First-tier Tribunal considered three questions on HMRC's refusal to allow the UK branch of a foreign company to join a UK VAT group. HMRC's grounds were, first, that the company did not have a fixed establishment in the UK; and, second, that HMRC could deny the application in order to protect the revenu.
Barclays Service Corp and another company v Revenue and Customs Commissioners [2024] UKFTT 00785 (TC), 29 August 2024
Royaume-Uni - Tax treaty exemption - Tax avoidance main purpose - The Upper Tribunal has rejected an appeal from HM Revenue and Customs, holding that the First-tier Tribunal was entitled to find that taking advantage of the interest article in the Ireland/UK double tax treaty was not a main purpose of the parties to the sale of a debt, so the lender should not be denied treaty relief from withholding.

Royaume-Uni - Transfer pricing - Tax advantage main purpose and apportionment - The Court of Appeal has held that the transfer pricing rules do not require companies to include unnecessary covenants in intra-group loans, overturning an Upper Tribunal decision on this point; it agreed with the UT, however, that tax deductions for the interest on the loans in question should be disallowed under the unallowable purposes rule.
