VAT Update - HMRC v Sonder Europe Ltd [2025] UKUT 00014 (TCC)
On 14 January, the Upper Tribunal (UT) upheld HMRC’s appeal against the First-tier Tribunal’s (FTT) decision that supplies of accommodation fell within the VAT tour operators’ margin scheme (TOMS). This means that rather than output VAT being charged on the company’s margin, it will now be charged on the value of supplies to travellers.
