Will getting a few hundred million quid back mean we won't be charged as much?


Mobile phone giants attempting to claim back £3.3bn in VAT on 3G licences will discover on 7 September whether they are likely to be successful in their bids.

The five licencees – Hutchison 3G, mm02, Orange, T-Mobile and Vodafone – are awaiting a ruling on the issue from the European Court of Justice.

ECJ diaries released this week suggest that the advocate general, whose view is followed in most cases, will give a view on 7 September.

The five paid £22.5bn for the licences to operate the new mobile phone technology.
