Hotel La Tour – Supreme Court hearing “24 to 26 June 2025 (over 2 days)” – holding company and input tax recovery of professional fees relating to a share sale

HMRC’s VAT appeal update has confirmed that this case will be heard in June 2025. For background, the taxpayer was a holding company and decided to dispose of a 100% owned subsidiary by way of an exempt share sale to finance the development of a new hotel that would generate taxable income. The original FTT supported the taxpayer’s argument that there was a direct and immediate link between the VAT on the professional fees and the downstream taxable services and the VAT was not a cost component of the exempt supply. HMRC’s appeal was dismissed at the UT but the decision was overturned at the CoA. To access the earlier CoA judgment, click .
