11 Before the cross-heading before paragraph 44 insert—

Supplies for use in scrap metal recycling

(1) For the purposes of this Schedule, a taxable supply is a supply for
40use in scrap metal recycling if—

(a) the person to whom the taxable commodity is supplied
intends to cause the commodity to be used as fuel in a
process (“the recycling process”) to be carried out by that

Finance (No. 4) BillPage 585

person which is the shredding (or fragmentation), pre-
treatment and melting of scrap metal for recycling, and

(b) the condition in sub-paragraph (2) is satisfied.

(2) The condition is that there is another process (“the competing
5process”) that—

(a) uses taxable commodities otherwise than as fuel,

(b) produces a product of the same kind as one produced by
the recycling process,

(c) uses a greater amount of energy than the recycling process
10to produce a given quantity of that product, and

(d) involves a lesser charge to levy for a given quantity of that
product than would, but for paragraph 42(1)(d), be the
case for the recycling process.

(3) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (2)(a), taxable commodities are
15used “otherwise than as fuel” only if the supplies of those
commodities to the person using them are exempted from the levy
by virtue of paragraph 18.

(4) Sub-paragraphs (5) and (6) apply where the recycling process or
the competing process, as well as producing a product of the same
20kind as one produced by the other process (“the corresponding
product”), also produces one or more products that are not
(“different products”).

(5) If the production of the different products is merely incidental to
the production of the corresponding product, the different
25products are to be treated for the purposes of sub-paragraph (2)(c)
and (d) as being of the same kind as the corresponding product.

(6) If the production of the different products is not merely incidental
to the production of the corresponding product—

(a) the amounts of energy referred to in sub-paragraph (2)(c),
30and the amounts of the charge to levy referred to in sub-
paragraph (2)(d), are to be determined on a just and
reasonable apportionment, and

(b) in calculating the amount payable by way of levy on the
taxable supply, only the proportion of the supply that is
35the same as the proportion of the energy used by the
recycling process to produce the corresponding product
(as determined for the purposes of paragraph (a)) is to be
treated as being a supply for use in scrap metal recycling.

(7) In this paragraph—

(8) The Commissioners may by regulations make provision for giving
effect to this paragraph.

(9) Regulations under this paragraph may, in particular, include
5provision for determining whether or not a taxable supply is a
supply for use in scrap metal recycling (to any extent).

Supplies for use in scrap metal recycling and reduced-rate supplies: deemed supply

(1) This paragraph applies where—

(a) a taxable supply (“the original supply”) has been made to
10any person (“the recipient”),

(b) the original supply was made on the basis that it was, to
any extent, a supply for use in scrap metal recycling or a
reduced-rate supply,

(c) it is later determined that the original supply was (or was
15to some extent) a different kind of supply, and

(d) the amount payable on the supply on the basis mentioned
in paragraph (b) is less than the amount payable on the
supply on the basis of the later determination.

(2) For the purposes of this Schedule—

(a) 20the recipient is deemed to make a taxable supply to itself of
the taxable commodity, and

(b) the amount payable by way of levy on that deemed supply
is—

(i) the amount payable on the original supply on the
25basis of the later determination mentioned in sub-
paragraph (1)(c), less

(ii) the amount payable on the original supply on the
basis mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(b).

(3) This paragraph does not apply where a supply is treated as not
30being a reduced-rate supply by virtue of paragraph 45B.

12 Omit paragraph 45A (reduced-rate supplies: deemed supply).

13 After paragraph 62(1)(c) (tax credits) insert—

(ca) after a taxable supply has been made on the basis that it
was not a supply for use in scrap metal recycling, it is
35determined that the supply was (to any extent) a supply
for use in scrap metal recycling;

(cb) after a taxable supply has been made on the basis that it
was (to any extent) a supply for use in scrap metal
recycling, it is determined that the supply was such a
40supply to a greater extent than previously determined;.

14 In paragraph 101(2)(a) (penalty for incorrect notification)—

(a) in sub-paragraph (ii) omit “, 18A”,

(b) omit the “or” after sub-paragraph (ii), and
