BDO WINS FIVE-YEAR HMRC BATTLE

摘要

lnsurancewide.com and BDO Stoy Hayward have won a five-year battle against HM Revenue & Customs, following a High Court judgment. The insurance comparison web service will now not be required to pay VAT on internet-based insurance commissions, following arguments over whether the services provided were insurance intermediation services or just advertising.rnThe service argued it was being singled out, as its competitors were not being made to pay VAT on website-based insurance sales.
