From HM Revenue & Customs · VAT Transfer of a going concern
In relation to this paragraph the transferor (seller) and the transferee (purchaser) also include any relevant associate as defined in paragraph 3 of Schedule 10 VAT Act 1994. This condition is necessary to avoid the artificial movement of the asset between associated companies to get around the VAT grouping and TOGC rules.
