A further challenge to HMRC over VAT

Earlier this year, Grant Thornton and Royal Troon challenged HMRC over VAT on sales of food and drink to members and now seek other members clubs to join them in contributing to a fighting fund. 

In January Royal Troon Golf Club lodged an appeal with HMRC for the repayment of VAT on sales of food and drink to members. The claim was submitted on the basis that its sales of food and drink to members are non-trading and thus fall outside the scope of VAT as a non-business activity.
