If you have been denied a VAT reclaim then you should consider appealing this decision to the first tier tribunal (tax). You make a claim for a refund of VAT where you input tax exceeds your output tax. You are entitled to make a claim for the difference.
When you receive the initial decision to deny you the refund you should immediately ask for a review of this decision. If there is still a negative response then that is the time to take the matter to the tribunal. We can assist you with this process and have the benefit of experience across a number of departments within this firm to give advice on all different aspects. The advantage of Stephensons being a large firm is that it gives us a very broad base of experience to assist individual clients. The tribunal is a civil litigation forum and we have experienced solicitors available to deal with any such appeals.
