(2B)Subject to subsection (2C) below, where a supply is excluded by virtue of subsection (2A) above from the supplies that are disregarded in pursuance of subsection (1)(a) above, all the same consequences shall follow under this Act as if that supply—
(a)were a taxable supply in the United Kingdom by the representative member to itself, and
(b)without prejudice to that, were made by the representative member in the course or furtherance of its business.
(2C)A supply which is deemed by virtue of subsection (2B) above to be a supply by the representative member to itself—
(a)shall not be taken into account as a supply made by the representative member when determining any allowance of input tax under section 26(1) in the case of the representative member;

(b)that supply is either—
(i)a supply falling to be treated, in accordance with an order under section 5(3), as being neither a supply of goods nor a supply of services, or
(ii)a supply that would have fallen to be so treated if it had taken place in the United Kingdom,
and
(c)the transferor was supplied with services falling within paragraphs 1 to 8 of Schedule 5 at a time before the transfer when the transferor belonged outside the United Kingdom,
those services, so far as they are used by the transferee for making any supply falling within that Schedule, shall be deemed to have been supplied to the transferee at a time when the transferee belonged outside the United Kingdom.
(2E)Where, in the case of a supply of assets falling within paragraphs (a) and (b) of subsection (2D) above—
(a)the transferor himself acquired any of the assets in question by way of a previous supply of assets falling within those paragraphs, and
(b)there are services falling within paragraphs 1 to 8 of Schedule 5 which, if used by the transferor for making supplies falling within that Schedule, would be deemed by virtue of that subsection to have been supplied to the transferor at a time when he belonged outside the United Kingdom,
that subsection shall have effect, notwithstanding that the services have not been so used by the transferor, as if the transferor were a person to whom those services were supplied and as if he were a person belonging outside the United Kingdom at the time of their deemed supply to him; and this subsection shall apply accordingly through any number of successive supplies of assets falling within paragraphs (a) and (b) of that subsection.”
