Hello,
This time we have a slightly unusual case study in personal tax, we consider the effect of making a mistake in a COVID-19 support payment claim, we look at tax refunds, and tax agents and the courts have been busy with VAT appeals.

Accountant's error costs taxpayer COVID-19 support
In Luca Delivery Limited v HMRC [2023] TC8752, the First Tier Tribunal (FTT) heard an appeal against a reclaim of a cash grant paid under the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS).
