NHS Fleet Solutions vat refund

badgerhead27

Hi, NHS fleet solutions lost a case with the hmrc which means some NHS trusts are refunding the vat on the car purchase for salary sacrifice.

Has anyone received a refund and was it subject to pension and tax?

If they are refunding VAT wouldn't NHS fleet solutions have won the case? So refunding the VAT that was wrongly charged?

Does this affect the individuals?
Who is refunding the VAT to whom?

You are correct yes, the HMRC lost. Having said that, NHS fleet solutions haven't exactly been proactive in refunding, so my trust is refunding as gesture of goodwill

My trust is refunding to me in lieu of NHS fleet solutions paying, presumably because my lease payments were higher than they should have been because of the VAT
