Application of Item 5 to established facts
Application of Item 5 to established facts
On the basis of the facts as we have found them and our interpretation of Item 5, we determine that the Appellant was incorrectly charged VAT on the supplies of Drs BK and SDR. In each case the Appellant was supplied with a registered medical practitioner to fill a post of a registered medical practitioner. BK and SDR were therefore each provided as a deputy for a registered medical practitioner.
Disposition
For the reasons stated we allow the appeal.
