  • Upper Tribunal reversed decision on VAT for rent-to-rent holiday accommodation
  • VAT must be accounted for on total income received, not margin
  • Dispute over whether Tour Operators Margin Scheme applies to supplies made by Sonder
  • Sonder leased apartments long-term, furnished and decorated them for short-term accommodation
  • FTT focused on physical alterations, found TOMS applied
  • UT found FTT erred in test applied, correct test is whether there was material alteration
  • Sonder had bundle of rights different from what was supplied to guests
  • Sonder may appeal to Court of Appeal by February 14th
