Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order adds, with effect from 29th December 1992, a new item (12A) to Group 14 in Schedule 5 to the Value Added Tax Act 1983 (c. 55).

It ensures that vehicles let on a zero-rated basis to qualifying handicapped persons are chargeable to value added tax at the nil rate when sold at the end of the period of hire.
