Brayfal Decision Highlights the Importance of the Three Person VAT Tribunal

The Brayfal Tax Appeal Decision highlights the significance of a three-person VAT tribunal in complex high-value fraud cases. Unlike a two-member tribunal with a judge, where the judge’s opinion can be overruled by the other member, a three-person panel ensures balanced decision-making. Lexlaw advocates for future VAT tribunal hearings to be heard by two chairmen and one judge to improve fairness and expertise.
