EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order, which comes into force on 6th April 2009, amends article 6 of the Value Added Tax (Place of Supply of Goods) Order 2004 (SI 2004/3148) (“the 2004 Order”).
The place of supply of goods for VAT purposes is determined by section 7 of the Value Added Tax Act 1994 (“the Act”). By virtue of section 7(11) of the Act, the Treasury may, by order, vary the rules for determining where a supply of goods or services is made.
By virtue of article 6 of the 2004 Order, supplies of goods on board ships and aircraft for consumption during the course of intra-Community transport are treated as supplied outside the member States and are relieved of VAT. “Community transport” is defined in article 4 of the 2004 Order as meaning the transportation of passengers between the point of departure and the point of arrival in the course of which (a) there is a stop in a member State other than that in which lies the point of departure; and (b) there is no stop in a country which is not a member State.
Article 3 of this Order extends article 6 of the 2004 Order to include supplies on train journeys for consumption during the course of intra-Community transport. As a result, supplies of goods for consumption during the course of intra-Community railway transport shall be treated as being made outside the member States.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
