The Court of Appeal has ruled Aria Technology’s efforts to avoid £300,000 tax bill after HMRC found £750,000 of the firm’s input tax was not creditable.

The ruling marks the third consecutive loss in court for the company over its efforts to avoid paying its full VAT bill.

Lord Justice Singh dismissed ATL’s appeal against HMRC’s 2008 assessment of ATL’s tax bill.

Aria appeals £750k VAT fraud case

Aria Technology is headed for the Court of Appeal in a third go at overturning a £750,000 VAT fraud ruling.

The company has secured permission from Lord Justice Lewison to appeal against an HMRC decision to deny the firm £758,770.69 in input tax.  The taxman ruled it had taken part in a carousel fraud scheme and altered Aria Technology’s VAT return for period 07/06 on the basis that the company “knew, or should have known, that the transactions… were connected with the fraudulent evasion of VAT”.
