(5) If—

(a) is a liability of the supplier (subject to sub-paragraph (3)), and

(b) becomes due on the date of the VAT change (rather than at the time of supply).

(2) A supplementary charge under this Schedule on a supply consisting of the grant of a right to goods or services within paragraph 3—

(a) is a liability of the grantor (subject to sub-paragraph (3)), and

(b) becomes due on the first occasion on or after the date of the VAT change on which the right is exercised (rather than at the time the right is granted).

(3) If, on the date on which the supplementary charge becomes due, the person who would be liable to pay the charge under sub-paragraph (1) or (2)—

(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 supplementary charge is a liability of the representative member of the group.

Amount U.K.

17 (1) The amount of the supplementary charge on a supply within paragraph 2 is equal to the difference between— U.K.

(a) the amount of VAT chargeable on the supply apart from this Schedule, and

(b) the amount of VAT that would be chargeable on the supply if it were subject to VAT at the rate of 20%.

(2) The amount of the supplementary charge on a grant of a right to goods or services within paragraph 3 is equal to the difference between—

(a) the amount of VAT chargeable on the grant of the right apart from this Schedule, and

(b) the amount of VAT that would be chargeable on the grant of the right if it were subject to VAT at the rate of 20%,

(but see sub-paragraph (3)).

(3) If the basic time of supply for some of those goods and services is before the date of the VAT change, sub-paragraph (2) has effect as if the references to the amount of VAT chargeable and to the amount of VAT that would be chargeable were references to the relevant proportion of each of those amounts.

(4) “The relevant proportion” is—

where—

P is so much of the consideration for the grant of the right as is attributable on a just and reasonable basis to a right to the goods and services for which the basic time of supply is on or after the date of the VAT change, and

W is the whole of the consideration for the grant of the right.

Part 4 U.K. Listed supplies

“Listed supply” U.K.

18 (1) In this Schedule “listed supply” means a supply falling within sub-paragraph (2)— U.K.

(a) which is made for a consideration the whole or part of which is determined or payable periodically or from time to time, and

(2) The following supplies fall within this sub-paragraph—

(a) a supply of services,

(b) a supply arising from the grant of a major interest in land,

“Basic time of supply”: listed supplies U.K.

19 (1) For the purposes of this Schedule, in relation to a listed supply, “the basic time of supply” is the end of the period to which the VAT invoice or payment mentioned in paragraph 18(1) relates, except as provided in sub-paragraphs (2) and (4). U.K.

(2) Where the person making the supply issues an invoice—

(a) in respect of part of the listed supply to which the VAT invoice or payment mentioned in paragraph 18(1) relates, and

(b) for a period (a “billing period”) ending before the end of the period to which that VAT invoice or payment relates,

“the basic time of supply”, in relation to that part of the supply, is the end of the billing period.

(3) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (2), the listed supply (and the consideration for the supply) must be apportioned between periods on a just and reasonable basis.

(4) Where a listed supply is treated as taking place by virtue of—

(a) the issue by the person making the supply of a VAT invoice relating to a premium for the grant of a tenancy or lease, or

(b) the receipt by the person making the supply of such a premium,

“the basic time of supply” is the date of the grant of the tenancy or lease.

Part 5 U.K. Administration and interpretation

Person ceasing to be taxable person before supplementary charge due U.K.

20 (1) This paragraph applies if, on the date on which a supplementary charge under this Schedule becomes due (“the due date”), the person who is liable to pay the charge under paragraph 16 is not a taxable person. U.K.

(2) The supplementary charge must be accounted for by that person in accordance with VATA 1994 (and regulations made under that Act) as if it 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 supplementary 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 the due date.

Adjustment of contracts following the VAT change U.K.

21 (1) This paragraph applies where— U.K.

(a) a contract for the supply of goods or services is made before the date of the VAT change, and

(b) there is a supplementary charge under this Schedule on the supply.

(2) The consideration for the supply is to be increased by an amount equal to the supplementary charge, unless the contract provides otherwise.

Invoices U.K.

22 U.K. Regulations 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 a supplementary charge under this Schedule.

Orders under this Schedule U.K.

23 (1) An order under this Schedule is to be made by statutory instrument. U.K.

(2) A statutory instrument containing an order under this Schedule is subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of the House of Commons, unless it is an instrument to which sub-paragraph (4) applies.

(3) Sub-paragraph (4) applies to a statutory instrument containing an order made under paragraph 10 (or under that paragraph and under other provisions) which extends the supplies that are subject to a supplementary charge under this Schedule.

(4) An instrument to which this sub-paragraph applies—

(a) must be laid before the House of Commons, and

(b) ceases to have effect at the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the day on which it was made unless it is approved during that period by a resolution of the House of Commons.

(5) In reckoning the period of 28 days no account is to be taken of any time during which Parliament is dissolved or prorogued or during which the House of Commons is adjourned for more than 4 days.

(6) The order ceasing to have effect does not affect—

(a) anything previously done under it, or

(b) the making of a new order.

Interpretation: general U.K.

24 (1) Expressions used in this Schedule and in VATA 1994 have the same meaning in this Schedule as in that Act. U.K.

(2) In this Schedule—

(a) “treated as taking place” means treated as taking place for the purposes of the charge to VAT, and

(b) references to the person by or to whom a supply is made (however expressed) are to the person by or to whom the supply is treated as being made for the purposes of VATA 1994.
