Hastings Insurance: VAT Recovery and Offshore Looping Regulations

  • Hastings Insurance Services Ltd is a UK insurance intermediary that introduces UK customers to a related company in Gibraltar.
  • Hastings claimed full VAT recovery on its input tax, arguing that supplies to non-UK recipients allow for VAT recovery.
  • HMRC introduced new legislation to limit VAT recovery in such arrangements.
  • Hastings argued that the new legislation is incompatible with the Principal VAT Directive.
