The Supreme Court heard the case of Littlewoods & Ors v HMRC, which centered around whether taxpayers are entitled to interest above the statutory interest rate for VAT overpayments under EU law. Littlewoods argued it was due over £1 billion in additional interest, while HMRC believes the statutory rate satisfies adequate indemnity. The court signaled it would either agree with HMRC or refer the issue to the European Court of Justice for clarification. Additionally, a tribunal ruled supplies by a university student union were taxable, and an advocate general found German law treating health insurers differently for VAT violated the principle of fiscal neutrality.
