The document summarizes three court rulings: 1. The Court of Justice overturned the Advocate General's opinion in the Brockenhurst College VAT case, ruling that supplies made by the college to third parties could be considered closely related to the principal education supply. 2. The Supreme Court unanimously ruled against Investment Trust Companies in their restitution claim against HMRC for VAT wrongly paid, finding they had no direct relationship with HMRC. 3. The Advocate General issued an opinion in an input VAT recovery case, arguing that a Bulgarian developer could not reclaim VAT on works to upgrade a water pumping station as there was no link to its taxable business activities.
