VAT: Taxis

Question

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate he has made of the potential VAT owed to his Department in respect of supply of passenger transportation services arising as a result of the employment tribunal ruling of 28 October 2016; and if he will make a statement.

Answer

Decisions of the employment tribunal are not determinative of the VAT treatment of supplies.

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) takes a risk-based approach to VAT compliance, including using HMRC intelligence and third party data.
