Dispute Over VAT Treatment of Healthcare Services Provided in Prisons: Spectrum Community Health CIC

  • Spectrum Community Health CIC provided healthcare services and goods to prisoners in England
  • Services were supplied to NHS England under NHS Standard Contracts
  • Dispute over whether there was a single supply of exempt medical services
  • Spectrum contended they made separate zero-rated supplies of dispensed prescription drugs and reduced rate supplies of non-prescribed sexual health products
  • FTT disagreed with Spectrum, finding that NHSE and not the prisoners was the recipient of the supplies
  • UT rejected the appeal and confirmed the FTT decision on June 6, 2024.
