(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order varies, with effect from 1st November 1993, Schedule 3 to the Value Added Tax Act 1983.Article 3 substitutes a new paragraph 8 of that Schedule extending the application of the reverse charge provisions of section 7 of that Act to all supplies (which are treated as made in the United Kingdom) of services not previously covered where the customer is registered in the United Kingdom.The services specifed in the existing paragraph 8 are subsumed in the new provision, so the 1992 Order of the same title (which added that paragraph) becomes spent and is revoked accordingly by Article 5. Article 4 provides that section 7 of the Act will apply to these services even if the recipient would not "belong" in the United Kingdom if the rules in section 8 of the Act were applied.
This Order, in conjunction with section 7 of the Act, represents the partial exercise of the option given to member States by Article 21(1)(a) of EC Directive 77/388/EEC (OJ L145, 13.6.77, p. 1), as amended by EC Directive 91/680/EEC (OJ L376, 31.12.91, p. 1) to make the customer liable for tax in the place of an overseas supplier.
1983 c. 55; section 7(6) was added by section 14(2) of, and paragraph 8 of Schedule 3 to, the Finance (No. 2) Act 1992 (c. 48).
Paragraph 8 of Schedule 3 was added by S.I. 1992/3128.
S.I. 1992/3128.
