EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order, which comes into force on 1st August 2006, varies item 3 of Group 8 of Schedule 8 to the Value Added Tax Act 1994 (c.23) which makes provision for the supply of certain goods at the zero rate.

The effect of this Order is to zero-rate the supply of fuel to sea rescue charities where the fuel is for use in a lifeboat. This Order gives effect to Article 15.4(b) of Council Directive 77/388/EEC[3] ("the Sixth Directive") in so far as this relates to the supply of fuel for use in a vessel used for rescue or assistance at sea. A transposition note is available from www.hmrc.gov.uk.

A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has negligible impact on the costs of business, charities or voluntary bodies.
