These Regulations, which come into force on 1st November 1997, amend Part IX (Supplies by Retailers) of the value Added Tax Regulations 1995 S.I. 1995/2518) (“the principal Regulations”).

Regulation 2 omits regulation 70 of the principal Regulations, so that a retailer is no longer required to notify the Commissioners in writing on every return made by him of the retail scheme which he is using.

Regulation 2 also omits regulations 73 and 74 of the principal Regulations. Methods for valuing retail supplies under Groups 1 and 12 of Schedule 8 to the value Added Tax Act 1994 are now to be described in a notice published by the Commissioners under regulation 67 of the principal Regulations.
