The Case

The taxpayer's appeal against a decision of the VAT tribunal upholding the commissioners' assessments and costs method of computation was allowed, on the ground that the tribunal had erred in law in its computation of the figure for quarterly overheads. Accordingly, the tribunal's decision would be set aside and the matter remitted to a fresh tribunal for consideration.
