520 _a[2005] EWCA Civ 868, 20 July 2005. Lease of a department store in Swindon, where part of the rent was a percentage of the turnover. The parties entered into a lease in 1965, before the introduction of VAT. Under the lease D had to pay additional rent based on differing percentages of profit. The payments included purchase tax a forerunner of VAT. In 2003 D applied to the court for a declaration that turnover was not to include VAT, to which the HC agreed. On appeal the HC decided that the parties would have regarded a substitute for purchase tax as excluded from the calculation of turnover.
