Budget proposals
Article Abstract:
The 1992 Budget contains several minor amendments to value-added tax (VAT) regulations. Among others, these amendments propose increases in VAT registration limits, the raising of the outstanding debts limit that is used to determine whether Customs can revoke the privilege of using cash accounting methods for computing VAT liability, new requirements for the submission of VAT returns by large payers, and an exemption from VAT for 'salary sacrifices' such as company cars. Other measures contained in the proposed amendments cover new fuel scale charges on the petrol allowances provided by businesses for private use; imput tax recovery for new cars purchased by driving schools and self-drive car hire firms; reduced misdeclaration penalties; and provisions for the revision of UK VAT laws to ensure that they conform to European Community rules.
