Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust, R (on the application of) v The Commissioners for HMRC

The Trust was entitled to the benefit of the Concession as its intention at the time of supply was for business use, evidenced by Board resolution prior to delivery. HMRC erred in law by focusing on Supply Chain’s intention and misapprehending the requirements of the Concession. The Tribunal had no jurisdiction; judicial review was the proper forum. The decision of 31 March 2021 was quashed.
