(1)Where—
(a)a person who makes or intends to make taxable supplies of goods requests the Commissioners to allow his supplies to be taxed in accordance with this section; and
(b)the Commissioners are satisfied that that person is a person to whom this section applies,
the Commissioners may, if they think fit, allow that person’s taxable supplies to be so taxed until it appears to them that the person is no longer a person to whom this section applies or that the request is withdrawn or should, for any other reason, no longer be acted upon.
(2)This section applies to a person if—
(a)he does not have any business establishment or other fixed establishment in the United Kingdom and does not have his usual place of residence in the United Kingdom;
(b)he is for the time being neither registered under this Act nor required to be registered under Schedule 1A to this Act;
(c)he does not have a tax representative and is not for the time being required under section 32A above to appoint one; and
(d)he intends that his taxable supplies should be confined to supplies of goods made to taxable persons who are willing to account for and pay the tax chargeable thereon.
(3)A person whose taxable supplies for the time being fall to be taxed in accordance with this section—
(a)shall be a taxable person for the purposes of this Act; but
(b)shall not, by virtue of any provision of this Act, be registered, or be or become liable to be registered, under Schedule 1 to this Act.
(4)Where—
(a)any person’s taxable supplies for the time being fall to be taxed in accordance with this section; and
(b)that person makes a taxable supply of goods to a taxable person who has given, and not withdrawn, an undertaking to account for and pay any tax chargeable on supplies of goods made to him by the supplier in question,
it shall be for the person supplied, on the supplier’s behalf, to account for and pay any tax on the supply of those goods, and not for the supplier.
(5)Where any person’s taxable supplies for the time being fall to be taxed in accordance with this section, any acquisition from another member State by that person of any goods the first supply of which after their acquisition is to a person who under this section is required to account for and pay the tax on that supply shall be treated for the purposes of this Act as taking place outside the United Kingdom.
(6)The Commissioners may by regulations provide—
(a)for the form and manner in which any request under subsection (1) above, or any undertaking such as is mentioned in subsection (4)(b) above, is to be made or withdrawn;
(b)for the manner in which the making or withdrawal of any such undertaking is to be notified to the Commissioners;
(c)for a person whose taxable supplies for the time being fall to be taxed in accordance with this section to be under an obligation to notify the Commissioners if he makes any taxable supply to which subsection (4) above does not apply and which is not zero-rated;
(d)for prescribed provisions of this Act and of any other enactment (whenever passed) relating to value added tax to have effect, where under this section a person supplied with any goods is required to account for and pay any tax on the supply, as if that tax were on supplies or acquisitions made by him.
