Input VAT recovery and fund-raising: where do we stand after Hotel La Tour Ltd?

Key points

• HMRC will appeal the Upper Tribunal’s decision in Hotel La Tour to the Court of Appeal.
• Input VAT with a ‘direct and immediate link’ to an onward taxable supply may be recovered in full.
• As a result of the decision HMRC’s appeal will have to be borne in mind before taxpayers draw up plans to spend any VAT windfall and protective claims should be considered.
