How to Move Your UK Business to Dubai: A 7-Step Guide - Ep 29

This podcast details an appeal brought by Clatterbridge Pharmacy Limited (CPL) against decisions made by His Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) regarding Value Added Tax (VAT). The core dispute revolves around whether the supply of certain intravenous and injectable cancer medications by CPL to outpatients, administered by healthcare professionals from a separate entity, qualifies for zero-rated VAT under the "personal use" clause of the VAT Act. The Tribunal examined the statutory interpretation of "personal use," considering dictionary definitions and legislative history, ultimately allowing the appeal and ruling that such supplies are indeed for "personal use" and thus zero-rated, clarifying that the "personal use" exclusion for hospital settings does not extend to out-of-hospital scenarios where a healthcare professional administers the drug. The decision emphasizes that the legislation's intent was to prevent exploitation of the boundary between zero-rated drugs and exempt medical care within hospitals, not to create distinctions for outpatient drug administration.
