DECISION
This is an appeal against default surcharges applied for the quarters 09/04 & 12/04. Mr W Dalrymple appeared for the Appellant and Mr Russell Harrison for the Commissioners. After discussion and consideration of the true value of the J Fenton & Sons account to the Appellant and of the VAT due on the unpaid invoice being subject to repayment in due course HMRC withdrew the default surcharge for the period 12/04. This was accepted by the Appellant. The parties agreed no reasons need be given.
The appeal is refused in respect of the period 09/04.
The appeal is allowed by consent in respect of the period 12/04.
No expenses are found due to or by either party.
