of it.

(4)
In any other case, the amount for which credit is allowed under
that section is to be reduced by a just and reasonable sum to reflect
20the amount of tax waived or refunded or the deduction or relief
given.
(5)
If it transpires (on account of this paragraph or otherwise) that a
repayment or part of a repayment under section 26IA should not
have been made, P is liable for the amount that should not have

“pre-change supply” means a supply which—
25is treated as taking place before the date of the VAT change,
and
if it had been treated as taking place on that date, would have
been charged to VAT at the standard rate as a result of the
order.
2

There is an anti-forestalling charge to value added tax on any pre-change
supply which—

treated for all purposes as if it were value added tax charged in accordance
with VATA 1994.
Finance BillPage 582

20change period if, and to the extent that, the services are carried out or
provided on or after the date of the VAT change.

(1)
An anti-forestalling charge under this Schedule on a chargeable pre-change
5supply—
(a) is a liability of the supplier (subject to sub-paragraph (2)), and
(b)
becomes due on the date of the VAT change (rather than at the time
of supply).
(2)
If, on the date on which the anti-forestalling charge becomes due, the person
10who would be liable to pay the charge under sub-paragraph (1)—
(a) is not a taxable person, but
(b)
is treated as a member of a group under sections 43A to 43D of VATA
1994,
the anti-forestalling charge is a liability of the representative member of the
15group.
7
(1)
The amount of the anti-forestalling charge on a chargeable pre-change
supply is the amount of VAT that would be chargeable on the supply if it
were subject to VAT at 20%.
(2)
20If the chargeable pre-change supply is not wholly linked to the post-change
period, the anti-forestalling charge is the relevant proportion of that amount.
(3) The relevant proportion is—
where—
25P is so much of the consideration for the chargeable supply as is
attributable, on a just and reasonable basis, to that part of the supply
(or, in the case of a grant of a right, that part of the supply to which
the right relates) which is linked to the post-change period;
W is the whole of the consideration for the chargeable pre-change
30supply.
8
(1)
This paragraph applies if, on the date on which an anti-forestalling charge
35under this Schedule becomes due (“the due date”), the person who is liable
to pay the charge under paragraph 6 is not a taxable person.
(2)
The anti-forestalling charge must be accounted for by that person in
accordance with VATA 1994 (and regulations made under that Act) as if it
Finance BillPage 584
were VAT due in the last period for which the person was required to make
a return by or under VATA 1994.
(3)
If an amount assessed as due by way of an anti-forestalling charge under this
Schedule would (in the absence of this sub-paragraph) carry interest from a
date earlier than the due date, it is to be treated as only carrying interest from
5the due date.
9 (1) This paragraph applies where—
(a)
a contract for the supply of goods or services is made before the date
of the VAT change, and
(b)
10there is an anti-forestalling charge under this Schedule on the
supply.
(2)
The consideration for the supply is to be increased by an amount equal to the
anti-forestalling charge, unless the contract provides otherwise.
10
15Regulations under paragraph 2A of Schedule 11 to VATA 1994 (VAT
invoices) may make provision about the provision, replacement or
correction of invoices in connection with an anti-forestalling charge under
this Schedule.
11
(1)
20Expressions used in this Schedule and in VATA 1994 have the same meaning
in this Schedule as in that Act.
(2)
In this Schedule “treated as taking place” means treated as taking place for
the purposes of the charge to VAT.
Section 201
1 In VATA 1994, after Schedule 1 insert—
1
(1)
30A person becomes liable to be registered under this Schedule at
any time if conditions A to D are met.
(2) Condition A is that—
(a) the person makes taxable supplies, or
Finance BillPage 585
(b)
there are reasonable grounds for believing that the person
will make taxable supplies in the period of 30 days then
beginning.
(3)
Condition B is that those supplies (or any of them) are or will be
5made in the course or furtherance of a business carried on by the
person.
(4)
Condition C is that the person has no business establishment, or
other fixed establishment, in the United Kingdom in relation to
any business carried on by the person.
(5) 10Condition D is that the person is not registered under this Act.
2
(1)
A person does not become liable to be registered by virtue of
paragraph 1(2)(b) if the reason for believing that taxable supplies
will be made in the 30-day period mentioned there is that a
business, or part of a business, carried on by a taxable person is to
15be transferred to the person as a going concern in that period.
(2)
But if the transfer takes place, the transferee becomes liable to be
registered under this Schedule at the time of the transfer if
conditions A to D in paragraph 1 are met in relation to the
transferee at that time.
(3)
20In determining for the purposes of sub-paragraph (2) whether
condition B is met, the reference in paragraph 1(3) to a business is
to be read as a reference to the business, or part of the business,
that is transferred to the transferee.
3
A person is treated as having become liable to be registered under
25this Schedule at any time when the person would have become so
liable under paragraph 1 or 2 but for any registration that is
subsequently cancelled under—
(a) paragraph 11,
(b) paragraph 13(3) of Schedule 1,
(c) 30paragraph 6(2) of Schedule 2,
(d) paragraph 6(3) of Schedule 3, or
(e) paragraph 6(2) of Schedule 3A.
4
(1)
A person does not cease to be liable to be registered under this
Schedule except in accordance with sub-paragraph (2).
(2)
35A person who has become liable to be registered under this
Schedule ceases to be so liable at any time if the Commissioners
are satisfied that—
(a)
the person has ceased to make taxable supplies in the
course or furtherance of a business carried on by the
40person, or
(b)
the person is no longer a person in relation to whom
condition C in paragraph 1 is met.
5
(1)
A person who becomes liable to be registered by virtue of
45paragraph 1(2)(a) or 2(2) must notify the Commissioners of the
Finance BillPage 586
liability before the end of the period of 30 days beginning with the
day on which the liability arises.
(2)
The Commissioners must register any such person (whether or not
the person so notifies them) with effect from the beginning of the
day on which the liability arises.
6
(1)
5A person who becomes liable to be registered by virtue of
paragraph 1(2)(b) must notify the Commissioners of the liability
before the end of the period by reference to which the liability
arises.

The Commissioners must register any such person (whether or not
10the person so notifies them) with effect from the beginning of the
period by reference to which the liability arises.
7
(1)
A person registered under paragraph 5 or 6 who, on any day,
ceases to make or have the intention of making taxable supplies in
15the course or furtherance of a business carried on by that person
must notify the Commissioners of that fact within 30 days
beginning with that day.
(2)
But the person need not notify the Commissioners if on that day
the person would otherwise be liable or entitled to be registered
20under this Act (disregarding for this purpose the person’s
registration under this Schedule and any enactment that prevents
a person from being liable to be registered under different
provisions at the same time).
8
(1)
25The Commissioners must cancel a person’s registration under this
Schedule if—
(a)
the person satisfies them that the person is not liable to be
registered under this Schedule, and
(b) the person requests the cancellation.
(2) 30The cancellation is to be made with effect from—
(a) the day on which the request is made, or
(b)
such later day as may be agreed between the
Commissioners and the person.
(3)
But the Commissioners must not cancel the registration with effect
35from any time unless they are satisfied that it is not a time when
the person would be subject to a requirement to be registered
under this Act.
9
(1)
The Commissioners may cancel a person’s registration under this
Schedule if they are satisfied that the person has ceased to be liable
40to be registered under this Schedule.
(2) The cancellation is to be made with effect from—
(a) the day on which the person ceased to be so liable, or
(b)
such later day as may be agreed between the
Commissioners and the person.
Finance BillPage 587
(3)
But the Commissioners must not cancel the registration with effect
from any time unless they are satisfied that it is not a time when
the person would be subject to a requirement, or entitled, to be
registered under this Act.
10
5In determining for the purposes of paragraphs 8 and 9 whether a
time is a time when a person would be subject to a requirement, or
entitled, to be registered under this Act, so much of any provision
of this Act as prevents a person from becoming liable or entitled to
be registered when the person is already registered or when the
10person is so liable under any other provision must be disregarded.
11
(1)
The Commissioners may cancel a person’s registration under this
Schedule if they are satisfied that the person was not liable to be
registered under this Schedule on the day on which the person
was registered.
(2)
15The cancellation is to be made with effect from the day on which
the person was registered.
12
Paragraphs 8 to 11 are subject to paragraph 18 of Schedule 3B
(cancellation of registration under this Schedule of persons
seeking to be registered under that Schedule etc).
13
(1)
The Commissioners may exempt a person from registration under
this Schedule if the person satisfies them that the taxable supplies
that the person makes or intends to make—
(a) are all zero-rated, or
(b) 25would all be zero-rated if the person were a taxable person.
(2)
The power in sub-paragraph (1) is exercisable only if the person so
requests and the Commissioners think fit.
(3)
If there is a material change in the nature of the supplies made by
a person exempted under this paragraph, the person must notify
30the Commissioners of the change—
(a)
within 30 days beginning with the day on which the
change occurred, or
(b)
if no particular day is identifiable as that day, within 30
days of the end of the quarter in which the change
35occurred.
(4)
If it appears to the Commissioners that a request under this
paragraph should no longer be acted upon on or after any day or
has been withdrawn on any day, they must register the person
who made the request with effect from that day.
(5)
40A reference in this paragraph to supplies is to supplies made in the
course or furtherance of a business carried on by the person.
14
Any notification required under this Schedule must be made in
such form and manner and must contain such particulars as may
Finance BillPage 588
be specified in regulations or by the Commissioners in accordance
with regulations.”
