Section 55G — Value Added Tax Regulations 1995: Determining relevant turnover

Determining relevant turnover 55G 1 The Commissioners shall prescribe, in a notice published by them, three methods to determine when supplies are to be treated as taking place for the purpose of ascertaining the relevant turnover of a flat-rate trader for a particular period, as follows—

a “the basic turnover method”, which shall be a method based on consideration for supplies taking place in a period;

b “the cash turnover method”, which shall be a method based on the actual consideration received in a period;

c “the retailer’s turnover method”, which shall be a method based on the daily gross takings of a retailer.

2 When exercising their power to prescribe these methods, the Commissioners shall prescribe what rules are to apply when a flat-rate trader ceases to use one of the methods and begins to use a different method.

3 In any prescribed accounting period, a flat-rate trader must use one of the methods to determine the value of his relevant turnover.
