@maxschofield @HMCTSgovuk I don't know why, but it is pretty annoying!

A good VAT result for Amex in the Tax Tribunal. Whilst litigation is a costly and time consuming exercise, sometimes it is the only option to hold an increasingly difficult HMRC to account

In Cardpoint, AG thinks that outsourced ATM services do not qualify for VAT exemption, on the basis that the services are basically the same as those considered in Bookit. Not sure I agree with that

Looks like we'll still be in the EU! And no doubt plenty of Brexit related discussion to be had. Wonder if things will be any clearer by then...

Our annual International VAT Conference will be on 5 April in London this year. The invite and agenda is in the link below. I'm looking forward to welcoming our clients and our colleagues from around the world - will we be outside the EU by then??

Roses are red
The EU Commission is blue
It wants QMV for tax matters
But it will never get through

In practical terms, the switch to #QualifiedMajority voting in the field of taxation would make it possible to:
#FairTaxation
#EPlenary

@GaryLineker By that logic, where popularity is the only metric, the BBC should be showing Love Island and the Kardashians 24/7!

@maxschofield When it comes to input tax cases the ECJ (sorry...CJEU) is continuing to get it right! Businesses as a rule pay expenses for business purposes, it's hardly rocket science.

A no-deal Brexit will abolish payment of VAT for ALL imports to UK, switching to a self accounting system for business via VAT returns. Despite the politics of Brexit, this would be a great business facilitation measure for the UK #Brexit #VAT

My mate has two tickets for the England vs Croatia semifinal game tomorrow. He didn't realise that it's going to be on the same day as his wedding, so he can't go. If you're interested and want to go instead of him, it's at St. Andrew's Church in Cambridge and her name is Sarah.

We won six awards at last Friday's @IntlTaxReview Awards 2018, including Tax Firm of the Year in Luxembourg, UK and Netherlands! #Tax #TransferPricing https://t.co/asH887y0jz

The perils of taking an appeal to Europe (VWFS)... when the AG finds an elephant in the room and turns an input tax case into an output tax one, and in so doing says UK VAT law is wrong https://t.co/0o9GeIKhBO

[Mark Agnew @MPAgnew]

A further defeat for HMRC challenging VAT recovery on costs of operating loyalty schemes. It's a business expense and any VAT should be deductible as a result...it's pretty straightforward really https://t.co/IeL3u1NgC9

[Baker McKenzie @bakermckenzie]

Our next #Brexit seminar focuses on implications for customs & trade and how best to prepare for them. We will be joined by Neil Feinson from @tradegovuk and Aaron Dunne from @HMRCgovuk. For further information please click here: https://t.co/cfFy8XoCWq

@AislingTax Hopefully this works

AG Opinion just released in DPAS raises doubts about whether AXA was correct, but either way the services are taxable. It also seems that effective legal contracts (as found by the UK tribunal) are merely a legal annoyance that should not get in the way of the conclusion
