A group of Andover residents have won a court battle against their housing provider after it tried to force them to pay for its legal battle against them over “unnecessary work. As previously reported, residents of flats in Kingsway Gardens had been locked in a battle with Aster over the replacement of asphalt on their balconies across their buildings, which could results in fees of over £20,000 per flat. After residents took them to a tribunal, judges ordered Aster to reduce the fees it would charge, though agreed the costs in principle. However, the tribunal ordered that Aster should pay the costs of the resident’s legal battle, as well as its own, which the company appealed, wanting to charge its legal costs to the residents. Following further defeats, Aster confirmed to the Advertiser it will no longer pursue this action.

The future tax status of thousands of vehicles hangs in the balance after drinks giant Coca-Cola said it was hoping to lodge an appeal with the Supreme Court.
The Court of Appeal ruled in favour of HMRC last year, deciding that the use of three vehicles – two Volkswagen
Kombis and a Vauxhall Vivaro – should be treated as cars, rather than vans, for tax purposes.
The ruling increased the amount of tax due from both the employer – Coca-Cola European Partners Great Britain (CCEP) – and the employees.
If unchallenged, the Court of Appeal’s decision could set a legal precedent impacting the amount of national insurance contributions (NICs) paid by scores of fleets and the level of benefit-in-kind (BIK) tax incurred by their drivers.

News UK to take fight for VAT rebate to Supreme Court in move which could net news industry £100ms
News UK will take its case that its digital products should have been exempt from VAT for years in the same way as newspapers to the Supreme Court after suffering a defeat in the Court of Appeal.
The Sun and Times publisher brought the case against HMRC to argue its digital news services should have been zero-rated between September 2010 and December 2016 under the section of the VAT Act that exempts printed newspapers, periodicals and journals.
If the title wins its legal fight the UK news industry could be in line for a tax windfall worth hundreds of millions.
