Paragraph 8 of Schedule 4 to the Value Added Tax Act 1994 provides that a supply of goods is deemed to be made in certain circumstances when a person ceases to be a taxable person. However, a supply is not deemed to be made if the VAT on the deemed supply would not be more than £250. The effect of this Order is that a supply will not be deemed to be made if the VAT on the deemed supply would not be more than £1,000.
