MANCHESTER TRIBUNAL CENTRE Reference No: MAN/07/0037
NAVIGATION SUPPLY COMPANY LIMITED Appellant
and
THE COMMISSIONERS FOR
HER MAJESTY'S REVENUE AND CUSTOMS Respondents
Tribunal Chairman: David Demack
Sitting in public in Manchester on the 8 May 2007
DIRECTION
under Rule 30(8)
This appeal against a decision of the Respondents with respect to the surcharge assessments listed at defaults 3 to 8 in the Schedule hereto and being a reasonable excuse appeal as defined by rule 2 of the Value Added Tax Tribunals Rules 1986 as amended coming on for hearing this day
And upon hearing Mrs A Belfield for the Appellant and Mrs K Tilling of the Solicitor's office of HM Revenue and Customs for the Respondents
And this tribunal having heard this appeal and having announced its decision
And the Appellant and the Respondents by their said representatives stating pursuant to the rule 30(8) of the said Rules as amended that they do not require the said decision to be recorded in a written document in accordance with rule 30(1) of the said Rules
This tribunal finds that the Appellant does have a reasonable excuse for defaults 3, 4, 7 and 8 so that the related assessments are discharged
And as default 5 occurred in a period when no surcharge liability notice was in force the assessment relating thereto is also discharged.
As to default 6 since that was the first assessment in a surcharge liability period and resulted in a penalty in a total of less than £400 (which figure the Respondents regard as de minimis for collection purposes the penalty assessed will not be collected) the assessment is reduced to £238
And this tribunal directs that this appeal is allowed and that there is to be no direction as to costs
