Statute overview

About this statute

This provision charges VAT on UK supplies and imports, sets a 20% rate, and gives the Treasury and Commissioners powers to make VAT-related orders and regulations. This provision sets rules for fiscal warehousing, VAT valuation, input tax credits, and related Treasury/Commissioners powers. This provision sets out several VAT refund, exemption, and zero-rating rules, including claim deadlines and conditions, and gives the Treasury and Commissioners powers to make or administer related rules. The Commissioners can refuse or end group-treatment applications and must act by notice in some cases; a person cannot be treated as a member of more than one group at the same time. The provision lets the Commissioners make VAT compliance regulations, use and disclose certain VAT information in limited cases, and imposes several penalties for defaults, late returns, inaccurate statements, record failures, and some VAT-related transactions.
