EXPLANATORY NOTE
These Regulations require a taxable person to supply the details requested on the VAT return issued to him or her under section 19(3) of the Act. Recent changes in VAT primary law permit traders who account annually for VAT to align the period covered by their annual VAT return with their annual commercial accounting period. For these traders this annual return covers both the tax payment and the associated trading details for the period. Traders who account for their VAT bi-monthly must also make an annual return of trading details and the Regulations have the effect of extending the same flexibility as regards this annual return to these traders. The Regulations also revoke and replace the Value-Added Tax (Returns) Regulations, 1993 ( S.I. No. 247 of 1993 ).
