VATDSAG01100 | Introduction: law

Schedule 1,1A (2) of the VAT Act 1994 requires that, in determining whether any separation is artificial, due regard is had to the extent to which the different persons concerned are closely bound to one another by

• financial

• economic, and

• organisational

links.

Schedule 1, 2(2) of the VAT Act 1994 lays down three conditions which must be met before we can issue a Notice of Direction to any person. These are:

• he is making or has made taxable supplies

• those taxable supplies form part of wider activities carried on concurrently or previously (or both) with one or more other persons

• the totality of the disaggregated activities gives rise to a liability to be VAT registered.
