Paymex VAT Case Update
Thursday 8th March 2012
In September 2011 HMRC published their Brief 35/11 which dealt with the insolvency implications of the VAT Tribunal decision in the case of Paymex Limited. They have subsequently undertaken a review of all insolvency processes in light of the Paymex ruling, and, following completion of this review, have issued Brief 03/12 in which they confirm their view that the VAT exemption arising from the Paymex ruling applies to:
· Individual voluntary arrangements
· Company voluntary arrangements
· Partnership voluntary arrangements
· Protected trust deeds (applicable only in Scotland)
Insolvency practitioner services in all other insolvency processes remain liable for VAT at the standard rate.
