EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation.)

These Regulations amend and update Regulations 4 and 19 of the Value-Added Tax Regulations, 1979.

Regulation 4 is amended to provide that a person cannot backdate his or her waiver of a right to exemption from VAT in relation to certain lettings of immovable goods. The review period in relation to the cancellation of a waiver of exemption is deleted with effect from 1 November 2002. There are also several amendments to reword provisions and update cross-references.

Regulation 19 is amended to remove the condition regarding the five year rent review and to allow either of two methods of valuing a leasehold interest in immovable goods. The proviso to paragraph (1) is also reworded for the purpose of improved clarity.
