Whereas the other Member States were informed on 18 December 1996 of the United Kingdom's request;

Whereas the United Kingdom seeks authority to increase the turnover ceiling from £ 350 000 to £ 400 000 to take account of inflation;
Whereas a derogation can be accepted in view of the number of firms that already have opted for this simplified scheme and the limited duration of this extension;
Whereas the derogation in question does not have a negative effect on the own resources of the European Communities accruing from VAT;
Whereas the Commission adopted on 10 July 1996 a work programme based on a step-by-step approach for progressing towards a new common system of VAT;
Whereas the last package of proposals is to be put forward by mid-1999 and, in order to permit an evaluation of the coherence of the derogation with the global approach of the new common VAT system, the authorization is granted until 31 December 1999,

Article 1
By way of derogation from the provisions of Article 17 (1) of Directive 77/388/EEC, the United Kingdom is hereby authorized, until 31 December 1999, to provide within an optional scheme that enterprises with an annual turnover not higher than £ 400 000 must postpone the right of deduction of tax until it has been paid to the supplier.
