The First-tier Tribunal has refused an appeal by Aberdeen Sports Village Ltd (ASV) against HMRC’s assessment that VAT was payable on annual funding provided by Aberdeen City Council (ACC) and Aberdeen University (AU) to meet the running costs of ASV, pursuant to a joint venture arrangement.
The tribunal found that there was a supply of services by ASV to ACC and AU, that the funding was consideration for the supply of such services and that there was a direct link between the payers and ASV sufficient to incur a liability to VAT.
This case is a timely reminder of the VAT implications where funding is found to be consideration for a supply of services and not a grant or donation. Given the government’s commitment to promoting the use of charities, social enterprises, mutuals and co-operatives to run public services and the ongoing shift towards public service contracting and away from grant funding, thought should be given to any proposed scheme and its potential tax implications.
The High Court has rejected the judicial review claim brought by the campaign group BackTo60 against the Department of Work and Pensions (DWP).
