For any sales of standard-rated goods or services that you made on or after 4 January 2011 you should have charged VAT at the 20 per cent rate. If you have a cash business and calculate your VAT using the VAT fraction you nust use the VAT fraction of 1/6 on your standard-rated VAT inclusive sales from 4 January 2011.
The change inly applies to the standard VAT rate. There are no changes to sales that are zero-rated or reduced-rated for VAT. Similarly, there are no changes to the VAT exemptions. Any sales you make at these rates are unaffected by this change.

Where the CO2 emission figure is not a multiple of 5, the figure is rounded down to the next multiple of 5 to determine the level of the charge. For a bi-fuel vehicle which has two CO2 emissions figures, the lower of the figures should be used. For cars which are too old to have a CO2 emissions figure, you should identify the CO2 band based on engine size, as follows:
If its cylinder capacity is 1,400cc or less, use CO2 band 140;
If its cylinder capacity exceeds 1,400cc but does not exceed 2,000cc, use CO2 band 175;
If its cylinder capacity exceeds 2,000cc, use CO2 band 225 or above. |
