EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations, which come into force on 2nd March 2011, amend Part 15 (adjustments to the deduction of input tax on capital items) of the Value Added Tax Regulations 1995 (S.I. 1995/2518).

Regulations 3 to 5 amend regulations 112 (interpretation of Part XV), 114 (period of adjustment) and 115 (method of adjustment) to substitute revised references to paragraph 37 of Schedule 10 to the Value Added Tax Act 1994 ("paragraph 37") following its amendment by the Value Added Tax (Buildings and Land) Order 2011 (S.I. 2011/86) and to adjust for the fact that the revised calculation in paragraph 37 is calculated by reference to months rather than years to ensure that these provisions continue to have their intended effect.

A full Impact Assessment has not been produced in relation to the changes made by this instrument as they have no impact on business, charities or voluntary bodies.
