A person may make a claim if the person—

a

has made a non-UK return for a tax period relating wholly or partly to scheme supplies treated as made in the United Kingdom,

b

has accounted to the tax authorities for the administering member State for VAT in respect of those supplies, and

c

in doing so has brought into account as UK VAT due to those authorities an amount (“the overpaid amount”) that was not UK VAT due to them.

2

A person may make a claim if the person has, as a participant in a non-UK scheme, paid (to the tax authorities for the administering member State or to the Commissioners) an amount by way of UK VAT that was not UK VAT due (“the overpaid amount”), otherwise than in the circumstances mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(c).

3

A person who is or has been a participant in a non-UK scheme may make a claim if the Commissioners—

in doing so, have brought into account as VAT an amount (“the amount not due”) that was not VAT due.

Where a person makes a claim under sub-paragraph (1) or (2), the Commissioners must repay the overpaid amount to the person.

5

Where a person makes a claim under sub-paragraph (3), the Commissioners must credit the person with the amount not due.

6

Where—

a

as a result of a claim under sub-paragraph (3) an amount is to be credited to a person, and

b

after setting any sums against that amount under or by virtue of this Act, some or all of the amount remains to the person's credit,

the Commissioners must pay (or repay) to the person so much of the amount as remains to the person's credit.

7

The reference in sub-paragraph (1) to a claim is to a claim made—

a

by correcting, in accordance with Article 61 of the Implementing Regulation, the error in the non-UK return mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(a), or

b

(after the expiry of the period during which the non-UK return may be amended under Article 61) to the Commissioners.
