Finance Act 2012
(10A) (1) For the purposes of general betting duty or pool betting duty, a “qualifying foreign tax” is a foreign tax specified by the Commissioners in relation to that duty (“the relevant duty”). (2) “Specified” means specified in a notice published by the Commissioners, as revised or replaced from time to time. (3) The Commissioners must specify a foreign tax under this section if they are satisfied that— (a) it is a gambling tax, (b) the activities on which it is charged include betting, (c) the bets in respect of which it is charged include bets in respect of which the relevant duty is also charged, and (d) the charge in respect of such bets is based on betting by persons in or deemed to be in the country or territory where the tax is imposed. (4) The following factors indicate that a tax is a gambling tax— (a) that it is charged on activities involving betting or gaming (rather than activities generally), and (b) that it goes towards meeting general public expenditure (rather than being ring-fenced for a particular purpose). (5) A notice specifying a foreign tax may provide that the tax is to be treated as having been specified with effect from a date that is earlier than the date of the notice.
5
After section 26I insert—
(26IA) (1) This section applies if— (a) P is liable to pay remote gaming duty on the provision of facilities for remote gaming, and (b) P is also liable to pay a qualifying foreign tax in respect of remote gaming using those facilities. (2) The remote gaming using those facilities in respect of which the qualifying foreign tax is charged is referred to as “eligible gaming”. (3) Credit may be allowed for all or part of the qualifying foreign tax paid by P. (4) Whether any credit is allowed is determined in accordance with Schedule 4B. (5) If credit is allowed for an accounting period, P is entitled to claim a repayment of so much of the duty actually paid as is equal to the amount of credit allowed. (6) Total repayments to P for that period (taking into account all qualifying foreign taxes) must not, in aggregate, exceed the duty actually paid. (7) “The duty actually paid” means the remote gaming duty paid by P for that accounting period. (8) Remote gaming does not count as “eligible gaming” if one of the participants in the game in question is P or someone acting on P's behalf. (26IB) (1) For the purposes of remote gaming duty, a “qualifying foreign tax” is a foreign tax specified by the Commissioners in relation to remote gaming duty. (2) “Specified” means specified in a notice published by the Commissioners, as revised or replaced from time to time. (3) The Commissioners must specify a foreign tax under this section if they are satisfied that— (a) it is a gambling tax, (b) the activities on which it is charged include remote gaming, (c) the remote gaming on which it is charged includes remote gaming using facilities in respect of which remote gaming duty is also charged, and (d) the charge is based on remote gaming by persons in or deemed to be in the country or territory where the tax is imposed. (4) The following factors indicate that a tax is a gambling tax— (a) that it is charged on activities involving betting or gaming (rather than activities generally), and (b) that it goes towards meeting general public expenditure (rather than being ring-fenced for a particular purpose). (5) A notice specifying a foreign tax may provide that the tax is to be treated as having been specified with effect from a date that is earlier than the date of the notice. (26IC) (1) The Commissioners may make regulations about— (a) claims for repayment under section 26IA, and (b) the making of repayments under that section. (2) Regulations under this section may in particular include provision about— (a) the time within which claims may be made, (b) the form, content and delivery of claims, (c) the evidence required to satisfy the Commissioners of the validity of claims, and (d) the investigation and processing of claims.

7
Before Schedule 1 insert—
SCHEDULE A1 (1) This Schedule sets out the rules for determining whether credit is allowed under section 5E or 8ZA for qualifying foreign tax paid by P. (2) (1) This Schedule is to be read as follows. (2) “The applicable class”— (a) in the case of section 5E, has the meaning given in that section, and (b) in the case of section 8ZA, means dutiable pool bets. (3) A “reconciliation period” is— (a) if P has monthly accounting periods, a period consisting of 12 consecutive accounting periods, (b) if P has quarterly accounting periods, a period consisting of 4 consecutive accounting periods, and (c) if P has any other length of accounting period, a period consisting of such number of consecutive accounting periods as would produce a period as near as possible to 365 days. (4) In relation to an accounting period, a reference to “the reconciliation period” is to the reconciliation period in which that accounting period falls. (3) (1) To determine whether credit is allowed for an accounting period— (a) calculate the notional UK liability and the notional foreign liability for the accounting period, and (b) compare the two figures. (2) No credit is allowed if either figure is nil or both figures are nil. (3) Subject to that, credit is allowed of an amount equal to the smaller of the two figures (or, if they are the same, of an amount equal to that figure). (4) The notional UK liability for an accounting period is calculated as follows— - Step 1 If the applicable class is a class to which a provision of sections 2 to 4 applies, calculate P's net stake receipts for the period in accordance with section 5 but by reference to eligible bets (rather than bets of the applicable class).If the applicable class is the class to which section 5AB applies, calculate the commission charges in accordance with that section relating to eligible bets determined in the period (rather than bets to which that section applies).If the applicable class is dutiable pool bets, calculate P's net pool betting receipts for the period in accordance with section 7A but by reference to eligible bets (rather than dutiable pool bets).In calculating P's net stake receipts or net pool betting receipts for the purposes of this Step, do not carry forward to the period any losses in respect of eligible bets that arose in an accounting period before the start of the reconciliation period. - Step 2 If the amount calculated under Step 1 is nil or a negative amount, the notional UK liability for the period is nil.Otherwise, apply the appropriate rate to the amount calculated under Step 1. The result is the notional UK liability for the period.“The appropriate rate” is the percentage specified in whichever of section 2(3), 3(3)(a), 3(3)(b), 4(3), 5AB(4) or 7(2) applies to the applicable class, as in force for the accounting period in question. (5) The notional foreign liability for an accounting period is calculated as follows— - Step 1 Calculate the amount of qualifying foreign tax that would be payable by P for the accounting period if the tax were charged solely in respect of eligible bets and accounted for by reference to periods corresponding to P's accounting periods.Any apportionment needed for this calculation is to be done on a just and reasonable basis.If the law under which the qualifying foreign tax is imposed provides for losses to be carried forward, do not carry forward to the period any losses (in respect of eligible bets) that arose before the start of the reconciliation period. - Step 2 If the amount calculated under Step 1 is nil, the notional foreign liability for the period is nil.Otherwise, calculate the sterling equivalent of the amount calculated under Step 1. The result is the notional foreign liability for the period.The sterling equivalent is to be calculated using the London closing exchange rate for the last day of the accounting period. (6) (1) This paragraph applies if in respect of the applicable class of bets— (a) P receives a repayment under section 5E or 8ZA for one or more accounting periods in a reconciliation period, and (b) the amount calculated under Step 1 in paragraph 4 for the final accounting period in that reconciliation period is a negative amount. (2) P is liable to repay all or part of the repayment or repayments received. (3) The amount that P is liable to repay is the smallest of— (a) the loss multiplied by the rate at which the qualifying foreign tax is charged in respect of eligible bets, (b) the loss multiplied by the appropriate rate (as defined in paragraph 4) for the applicable class of bets, and (c) the repayment (or the sum of the repayments) made to P for the reconciliation period. (4) “The loss” means the negative amount mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(b) but expressed as a positive number. (5) If there is more than one rate at which the qualifying foreign tax is charged in respect of eligible bets, each rate is to be applied to an appropriate portion of the loss in order to arrive at the amount under sub-paragraph (3)(a). (6) If all or part of the qualifying foreign tax is calculated other than on a net receipts basis, sub-paragraph (3) has effect as if paragraph (a) were omitted. (7) Any amount due from P under this paragraph is to be treated as if it were an amount of unpaid general betting duty or, as the case may be, pool betting duty. (7) The Commissioners are not required to make a repayment under section 5E or 8ZA if P is in breach of any obligation to deliver a return with respect to— (a) general betting duty, (b) pool betting duty, (c) bingo duty, (d) remote gaming duty, (e) gaming duty, or (f) lottery duty. (8) (1) Sub-paragraphs (2) to (4) apply if any of the following events take place— (a) the way in which a qualifying foreign tax is charged or calculated is changed retrospectively, (b) a tax authority waives or refunds all or part of an amount of qualifying foreign tax due from P, or (c) as a result of being liable to pay an amount of qualifying foreign tax, P or a connected person is entitled to any kind of tax deduction or relief calculated by reference to the amount of qualifying foreign tax. (2) P must notify the Commissioners of the event on becoming aware of it. (3) If the event is a retrospective change in the way in which the qualifying foreign tax is charged or calculated, the amount for which credit is allowed under section 5E or 8ZA is to be recalculated in accordance with this Schedule. (4) In any other case, the amount for which credit is allowed under section 5E or 8ZA is to be reduced by a just and reasonable sum to reflect the amount of tax waived or refunded or the deduction or relief given. (5) If it transpires (on account of this paragraph or otherwise) that a repayment or part of a repayment under section 5E or 8ZA should not have been made, P is liable for the amount that should not have been repaid, as if it were unpaid general betting duty or, as the case may be, pool betting duty. (6) Section 1122 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 (connected persons) applies for the purposes of sub-paragraph (1)(c).
8
- (1) Schedule 1 (betting duties) is amended as follows.
- (2) In paragraph 2, after sub-paragraph (4) insert—
(5) Regulations under this paragraph may also in particular include provision about claims for repayment under section 5E and about the making of any such repayment, including provision about— (a) the time within which claims may be made, (b) the form, content and delivery of claims, (c) the evidence required to satisfy the Commissioners of the validity of claims, and (d) the investigation and processing of claims.
- (3) In paragraph 2A, after sub-paragraph (3) insert—
(4) Regulations under sub-paragraph (2) may also include provision about claims for repayment under section 8ZA and about the making of any such repayment, including provision about anything mentioned in paragraph 2(5)(a) to (d).
9
After Schedule 4A insert—
SCHEDULE 4B (1) This Schedule sets out the rules for determining whether credit is allowed under section 26IA for qualifying foreign tax paid by P. (2) (1) For the purposes of this Schedule, a “reconciliation period” is— (a) if P has quarterly accounting periods, a period consisting of 4 consecutive accounting periods, and (b) if P has any other length of accounting period, a period consisting of such number of consecutive accounting periods as would produce a period as near as possible to 365 days. (2) In relation to an accounting period, a reference to “the reconciliation period” is to the reconciliation period in which that accounting period falls. (3) (1) To determine whether credit is allowed for an accounting period— (a) calculate the notional UK liability and the notional foreign liability for the accounting period, and (b) compare the two figures. (2) No credit is allowed if either figure is nil or both figures are nil. (3) Subject to that, credit is allowed of an amount equal to the smaller of the two figures (or, if they are the same, of an amount equal to that figure). (4) The notional UK liability for an accounting period is calculated as follows— - Step 1 Calculate P's remote gaming profits for the period in accordance with section 26C(2) but by reference to the use of the facilities provided by P for eligible gaming (rather than remote gaming generally).In calculating P's remote gaming profits for the purposes of this Step, do not carry forward to the period any losses (in respect of the use of the facilities for eligible gaming) that arose in an accounting period before the start of the reconciliation period. - Step 2 If the amount calculated under Step 1 is nil or a negative amount, the notional UK liability for the period is nil.Otherwise, apply the appropriate rate to the amount calculated under Step 1. The result is the notional UK liability for the period.“The appropriate rate” is the percentage specified in section 26C(1) as in force for the accounting period in question. (5) The notional foreign liability for an accounting period is calculated as follows— - Step 1 Calculate the amount of qualifying foreign tax that would be payable by P for the accounting period if the tax were charged in respect of eligible gaming and were accounted for by reference to periods corresponding to P's accounting periods.Any apportionment needed for this calculation is to be done on a just and reasonable basis.If the law under which the qualifying foreign tax is imposed provides for losses to be carried forward, do not carry forward to the period any losses (in respect of eligible gaming) that arose before the start of the reconciliation period. - Step 2 If the amount calculated under Step 1 is nil, the notional foreign liability for the period is nil.Otherwise, calculate the sterling equivalent of the amount calculated under Step 1. The result is the notional foreign liability for the period.The sterling equivalent is to be calculated using the London closing exchange rate for the last day of the accounting period. (6) (1) This paragraph applies if in respect of eligible gaming— (a) P receives a repayment under section 26IA for one or more accounting periods in a reconciliation period, and (b) the amount calculated under Step 1 in paragraph 4 for the final accounting period in that reconciliation period is a negative amount. (2) P is liable to repay all or part of the repayment or repayments received. (3) The amount that P is liable to repay is the smallest of— (a) the loss multiplied by the rate at which the qualifying foreign tax is charged in respect of eligible gaming, (b) the loss multiplied by the appropriate rate (as defined in paragraph 4), and (c) the repayment (or the sum of the repayments) made to P for the reconciliation period. (4) “The loss” means the negative amount mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(b) but expressed as a positive number. (5) If there is more than one rate at which the qualifying foreign tax is charged in respect of eligible gaming, each rate is to be applied to an appropriate portion of the loss in order to arrive at the amount under sub-paragraph (3)(a). (6) If all or part of the qualifying foreign tax is calculated other than on a net receipts basis, sub-paragraph (3) has effect as if paragraph (a) were omitted. (7) Any amount due from P under this paragraph is to be treated as if it were an amount of unpaid remote gaming duty. (7) The Commissioners are not required to make a repayment under section 26IA if P is in breach of any obligation to deliver a return with respect to— (a) general betting duty, (b) pool betting duty, (c) bingo duty, (d) remote gaming duty, (e) gaming duty, or (f) lottery duty. (8) (1) Sub-paragraphs (2) to (4) apply if any of the following events take place— (a) the way in which a qualifying foreign tax is charged or calculated is changed retrospectively, (b) a tax authority waives or refunds all or part of an amount of qualifying foreign tax due from P, or (c) as a result of being liable to pay an amount of qualifying foreign tax, P or a connected person is entitled to any kind of tax deduction or relief calculated by reference to the amount of qualifying foreign tax. (2) P must notify the Commissioners of the event on becoming aware of it. (3) If the event is a retrospective change in the way in which the qualifying foreign tax is charged or calculated, the amount for which credit is allowed under section 26IA is to be recalculated in accordance with this Schedule. (4) In any other case, the amount for which credit is allowed under that section is to be reduced by a just and reasonable sum to reflect the amount of tax waived or refunded or the deduction or relief given. (5) If it transpires (on account of this paragraph or otherwise) that a repayment or part of a repayment under section 26IA should not have been made, P is liable for the amount that should not have been repaid, as if it were unpaid remote gaming duty. (6) Section 1122 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 (connected persons) applies for the purposes of sub-paragraph (1)(c).

PART 2 — Liability and amount
Liability
6
- (1) An anti-forestalling charge under this Schedule on a chargeable pre-change supply—
- (a) is a liability of the supplier (subject to sub-paragraph (2)), and
- (b) becomes due on the date of the VAT change (rather than at the time of supply).
- (2) If, on the date on which the anti-forestalling charge becomes due, the person who would be liable to pay the charge under sub-paragraph (1)—
- (a) is not a taxable person, but
- (b) is treated as a member of a group under sections 43A to 43D of VATA 1994,
the anti-forestalling charge is a liability of the representative member of the group.
Amount
7
- (1) The amount of the anti-forestalling charge on a chargeable pre-change supply is the amount of VAT that would be chargeable on the supply if it were subject to VAT at 20%.
This is subject to any reduction under sub-paragraph (2).
- (2) If the chargeable pre-change supply is not wholly linked to the post-change period, the anti-forestalling charge is the relevant proportion of that amount.
- (3) The relevant proportion is—
$$P W$where—P is so much of the consideration for the chargeable supply as is attributable, on a just and reasonable basis, to that part of the supply (or, in the case of a grant of a right, that part of the supply to which the right relates) which is linked to the post-change period;W is the whole of the consideration for the chargeable pre-change supply.$
PART 3 — Administration and interpretation
Person ceasing to be taxable person before anti-forestalling charge due
8
- (1) This paragraph applies if, on the date on which an anti-forestalling charge under this Schedule becomes due (“the due date”), the person who is liable to pay the charge under paragraph 6 is not a taxable person.
- (2) The anti-forestalling charge must be accounted for by that person in accordance with VATA 1994 (and regulations made under that Act) as if it were VAT due in the last period for which the person was required to make a return by or under VATA 1994.
- (3) If an amount assessed as due by way of an anti-forestalling charge under this Schedule would (in the absence of this sub-paragraph) carry interest from a date earlier than the due date, it is to be treated as only carrying interest from the due date.
Adjustment of contracts following the VAT change
9
- (1) This paragraph applies where—
- (a) a contract for the supply of goods or services is made before the date of the VAT change, and
- (b) there is an anti-forestalling charge under this Schedule on the supply.
- (2) The consideration for the supply is to be increased by an amount equal to the anti-forestalling charge, unless the contract provides otherwise.
Invoices
10
Regulations under paragraph 2A of Schedule 11 to VATA 1994 (VAT invoices) may make provision about the provision, replacement or correction of invoices in connection with an anti-forestalling charge under this Schedule.
Interpretation: general
11
- (1) Expressions used in this Schedule and in VATA 1994 have the same meaning in this Schedule as in that Act.
- (2) In this Schedule “treated as taking place” means treated as taking place for the purposes of the charge to VAT.
SCHEDULE 28
New Schedule 1A
1
In VATA 1994, after Schedule 1 insert—
SCHEDULE 1A (1) (1) A person becomes liable to be registered under this Schedule at any time if conditions A to D are met. (2) Condition A is that— (a) the person makes taxable supplies, or (b) there are reasonable grounds for believing that the person will make taxable supplies in the period of 30 days then beginning. (3) Condition B is that those supplies (or any of them) are or will be made in the course or furtherance of a business carried on by the person. (4) Condition C is that the person has no business establishment, or other fixed establishment, in the United Kingdom in relation to any business carried on by the person. (5) Condition D is that the person is not registered under this Act. (2) (1) A person does not become liable to be registered by virtue of paragraph 1(2)(b) if the reason for believing that taxable supplies will be made in the 30-day period mentioned there is that a business, or part of a business, carried on by a taxable person is to be transferred to the person as a going concern in that period. (2) But if the transfer takes place, the transferee becomes liable to be registered under this Schedule at the time of the transfer if conditions A to D in paragraph 1 are met in relation to the transferee at that time. (3) In determining for the purposes of sub-paragraph (2) whether condition B is met, the reference in paragraph 1(3) to a business is to be read as a reference to the business, or part of the business, that is transferred to the transferee. (3) A person is treated as having become liable to be registered under this Schedule at any time when the person would have become so liable under paragraph 1 or 2 but for any registration that is subsequently cancelled under— (a) paragraph 11, (b) paragraph 13(3) of Schedule 1, (c) paragraph 6(2) of Schedule 2, (d) paragraph 6(3) of Schedule 3, or (e) paragraph 6(2) of Schedule 3A. (4) (1) A person does not cease to be liable to be registered under this Schedule except in accordance with sub-paragraph (2). (2) A person who has become liable to be registered under this Schedule ceases to be so liable at any time if the Commissioners are satisfied that— (a) the person has ceased to make taxable supplies in the course or furtherance of a business carried on by the person, or (b) the person is no longer a person in relation to whom condition C in paragraph 1 is met. (5) (1) A person who becomes liable to be registered by virtue of paragraph 1(2)(a) or 2(2) must notify the Commissioners of the liability before the end of the period of 30 days beginning with the day on which the liability arises. (2) The Commissioners must register any such person (whether or not the person so notifies them) with effect from the beginning of the day on which the liability arises. (6) (1) A person who becomes liable to be registered by virtue of paragraph 1(2)(b) must notify the Commissioners of the liability before the end of the period by reference to which the liability arises. (2) The Commissioners must register any such person (whether or not the person so notifies them) with effect from the beginning of the period by reference to which the liability arises. (7) (1) A person registered under paragraph 5 or 6 who, on any day, ceases to make or have the intention of making taxable supplies in the course or furtherance of a business carried on by that person must notify the Commissioners of that fact within 30 days beginning with that day. (2) But the person need not notify the Commissioners if on that day the person would otherwise be liable or entitled to be registered under this Act (disregarding for this purpose the person's registration under this Schedule and any enactment that prevents a person from being liable to be registered under different provisions at the same time). (8) (1) The Commissioners must cancel a person's registration under this Schedule if— (a) the person satisfies them that the person is not liable to be registered under this Schedule, and (b) the person requests the cancellation. (2) The cancellation is to be made with effect from— (a) the day on which the request is made, or (b) such later day as may be agreed between the Commissioners and the person. (3) But the Commissioners must not cancel the registration with effect from any time unless they are satisfied that it is not a time when the person would be subject to a requirement to be registered under this Act. (9) (1) The Commissioners may cancel a person's registration under this Schedule if they are satisfied that the person has ceased to be liable to be registered under this Schedule. (2) The cancellation is to be made with effect from— (a) the day on which the person ceased to be so liable, or (b) such later day as may be agreed between the Commissioners and the person. (3) But the Commissioners must not cancel the registration with effect from any time unless they are satisfied that it is not a time when the person would be subject to a requirement, or entitled, to be registered under this Act. (10) In determining for the purposes of paragraphs 8 and 9 whether a time is a time when a person would be subject to a requirement, or entitled, to be registered under this Act, so much of any provision of this Act as prevents a person from becoming liable or entitled to be registered when the person is already registered or when the person is so liable under any other provision must be disregarded. (11) (1) The Commissioners may cancel a person's registration under this Schedule if they are satisfied that the person was not liable to be registered under this Schedule on the day on which the person was registered. (2) The cancellation is to be made with effect from the day on which the person was registered. (12) Paragraphs 8 to 11 are subject to paragraph 18 of Schedule 3B (cancellation of registration under this Schedule of persons seeking to be registered under that Schedule etc). (13) (1) The Commissioners may exempt a person from registration under this Schedule if the person satisfies them that the taxable supplies that the person makes or intends to make— (a) are all zero-rated, or (b) would all be zero-rated if the person were a taxable person. (2) The power in sub-paragraph (1) is exercisable only if the person so requests and the Commissioners think fit. (3) If there is a material change in the nature of the supplies made by a person exempted under this paragraph, the person must notify the Commissioners of the change— (a) within 30 days beginning with the day on which the change occurred, or (b) if no particular day is identifiable as that day, within 30 days of the end of the quarter in which the change occurred. (4) If it appears to the Commissioners that a request under this paragraph should no longer be acted upon on or after any day or has been withdrawn on any day, they must register the person who made the request with effect from that day. (5) A reference in this paragraph to supplies is to supplies made in the course or furtherance of a business carried on by the person. (14) Any notification required under this Schedule must be made in such form and manner and must contain such particulars as may be specified in regulations or by the Commissioners in accordance with regulations.

11
Before the cross-heading before paragraph 44 insert—
(43A) (1) For the purposes of this Schedule, a taxable supply is a supply for use in scrap metal recycling if— (a) the person to whom the taxable commodity is supplied intends to cause the commodity to be used as fuel in a process (“the recycling process”) to be carried out by that person which is the shredding (or fragmentation), pre-treatment and melting of scrap metal for recycling, and (b) the condition in sub-paragraph (2) is satisfied. (2) The condition is that there is another process (“the competing process”) that— (a) uses taxable commodities otherwise than as fuel, (b) produces a product of the same kind as one produced by the recycling process, (c) uses a greater amount of energy than the recycling process to produce a given quantity of that product, and (d) involves a lesser charge to levy for a given quantity of that product than would, but for paragraph 42(1)(d), be the case for the recycling process. (3) For the purposes of sub-paragraph (2)(a), taxable commodities are used “otherwise than as fuel” only if the supplies of those commodities to the person using them are exempted from the levy by virtue of paragraph 18. (4) Sub-paragraphs (5) and (6) apply where the recycling process or the competing process, as well as producing a product of the same kind as one produced by the other process (“the corresponding product”), also produces one or more products that are not (“different products”). (5) If the production of the different products is merely incidental to the production of the corresponding product, the different products are to be treated for the purposes of sub-paragraph (2)(c) and (d) as being of the same kind as the corresponding product. (6) If the production of the different products is not merely incidental to the production of the corresponding product— (a) the amounts of energy referred to in sub-paragraph (2)(c), and the amounts of the charge to levy referred to in sub-paragraph (2)(d), are to be determined on a just and reasonable apportionment, and (b) in calculating the amount payable by way of levy on the taxable supply, only the proportion of the supply that is the same as the proportion of the energy used by the recycling process to produce the corresponding product (as determined for the purposes of paragraph (a)) is to be treated as being a supply for use in scrap metal recycling. (7) In this paragraph— - “melting” means— 1. the pre-heating and first melting of scrap metal before casting into items (“intermediates”) for further processing or re-melting, or 2. the heating of scrap metal as part of the recycling process before any solidification and re-melting, - “metal” means aluminium or steel. (8) The Commissioners may by regulations make provision for giving effect to this paragraph. (9) Regulations under this paragraph may, in particular, include provision for determining whether or not a taxable supply is a supply for use in scrap metal recycling (to any extent). (43B) (1) This paragraph applies where— (a) a taxable supply (“the original supply”) has been made to any person (“the recipient”), (b) the original supply was made on the basis that it was, to any extent, a supply for use in scrap metal recycling or a reduced-rate supply, (c) it is later determined that the original supply was (or was to some extent) a different kind of supply, and (d) the amount payable on the supply on the basis mentioned in paragraph (b) is less than the amount payable on the supply on the basis of the later determination. (2) For the purposes of this Schedule— (a) the recipient is deemed to make a taxable supply to itself of the taxable commodity, and (b) the amount payable by way of levy on that deemed supply is— (i) the amount payable on the original supply on the basis of the later determination mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(c), less (ii) the amount payable on the original supply on the basis mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(b). (3) This paragraph does not apply where a supply is treated as not being a reduced-rate supply by virtue of paragraph 45B.
12
Omit paragraph 45A (reduced-rate supplies: deemed supply).
13
After paragraph 62(1)(c) (tax credits) insert—
(ca) after a taxable supply has been made on the basis that it was not a supply for use in scrap metal recycling, it is determined that the supply was (to any extent) a supply for use in scrap metal recycling; (cb) after a taxable supply has been made on the basis that it was (to any extent) a supply for use in scrap metal recycling, it is determined that the supply was such a supply to a greater extent than previously determined;

- (b) insert at the appropriate place—
“supply for use in scrap metal recycling” has the meaning given by paragraph 43A(1);
