and c the person liable for the import VAT, if otherwise entitled to credit for input tax in respect of that charge under section 25 of VATA 1994, is not entitled to such credit for any sum greater than the net amount of import VAT accounted for under sub-paragraph (b). 114 1 Regulations 110 to 113 do not apply in relation to transactions involving the removal of goods from a member State to the United Kingdom as a result of their entry into Northern Ireland (as to which see provision relating to VAT on acquisitions in Northern Ireland from member States in Schedule 9ZA to VATA 1994). 2 Regulations 115 to 118 apply in relation to the transactions referred to in paragraph (1). 115 Where an acquisition in Northern Ireland of goods from a member State is treated as taking place on or after IP completion day in accordance with paragraph 4(1) of Schedule 9ZA to VATA 1994 and the time of acquisition is determined by reference to a first removal of the goods occurring before IP completion day, the fact that the first removal occurs at that time does not affect the charge to VAT that is imposed under paragraph 1 of that Schedule. 116 Where an acquisition in Northern Ireland of goods from a member State is treated as taking place before IP completion day in accordance with section 12 of VATA 1994 (as it had effect immediately before IP completion day), the charge to VAT is to be treated as NI acquisition VAT under Schedule 9ZA to VATA 1994 for all purposes relating to things that arise, occur or are done in consequence of or in relation to that charge on or after IP completion day. 117 Where— a goods are supplied in the circumstances described in paragraph 6(3) of Schedule 9ZA to VATA 1994, b the supply is treated as an acquisition of goods taking place on or after IP completion day in accordance with paragraph 4(1) of that Schedule, c and the goods are removed from a member State to Northern Ireland before IP completion day, the fact that the removal occurs at that time does not affect the application of the provision in paragraph 6(3) of Schedule 9ZA and does not affect the charge to VAT that is imposed under paragraph 1 of that Schedule. 118 1 Paragraph (2) applies where— a goods are supplied in the circumstances described in paragraph 6(3) of Schedule 9ZA to VATA 1994; b the supply is treated as an acquisition of goods taking place before IP completion day in accordance with section 12 and section 14(2) of VATA 1994 (as those sections had effect immediately before IP completion day); and c the goods (or any part of them) are removed from a member State to Northern Ireland on or after IP completion day. 2 Where this paragraph applies— a the supply of goods is to be treated as involving their removal from a member State to Northern Ireland in accordance with paragraph 6(3) of Schedule 9ZA to VATA 1994; b the fact that the removal of the goods (or part of them) takes place on or after IP completion day does not affect the application of that paragraph; and c the charge to VAT is to be treated as NI acquisition VAT under Schedule 9ZA to VATA 1994 for all purposes relating to things that arise, occur or are done in consequence of or in relation to that charge on or after IP completion day Transitional provision in relation to the movement of goods between Great Britain and Northern Ireland 119 1 Paragraph (2) applies where— a there is a removal of goods from Great Britain to Northern Ireland in the course of a taxable supply made by a taxable person; b the time that a supply in relation to the goods is treated as taking place, as determined by section 6 of VATA 1994 , falls before IP completion day; c the goods enter the territory of Northern Ireland on or after IP completion day; d a person is liable for VAT on the supply; and e the person who is liable for VAT on the supply is also liable for VAT charged on the entry of the goods into Northern Ireland by para 3(4) of Schedule 9ZB to VATA 1994. 2 Where this paragraph applies— a the person liable for the VAT charged on the entry of the goods into Northern Ireland must, when accounting for that VAT— i reduce its amount by the amount of the VAT for which that person is also liable in relation to the supply of the same goods by virtue of the supply (or some part of its amount) being treated as taking place before IP completion day, or ii if the liability for the VAT on the supply is greater than the corresponding liability for VAT on the entry of the goods into Northern Ireland, reduce the amount accounted for in respect of the VAT charged on the entry of the goods into Northern Ireland to nil; and b any person who would otherwise be entitled to credit under section 25 of VATA 1994 for input tax in respect of the VAT charged on the entry of the goods into Northern Ireland, is not entitled to such credit for any sum greater than the net amount of that VAT accounted for under sub-paragraph (a). 120 1 Paragraph (2) applies where— a there is a removal of goods from Northern Ireland to Great Britain in the course of a taxable supply made by a taxable person; b the time that a supply in relation to the goods is treated as taking place, as determined by section 6 of VATA 1994, falls before IP completion day; c the goods enter the territory of Great Britain on or after IP completion day; d a person is liable for VAT on the supply; and e the person who is liable for VAT on the supply is also liable for VAT charged on the entry of the goods into Great Britain by para 3(2) of Schedule 9ZB to VATA 1994. 2 Where this paragraph applies— a the person liable for the VAT charged on the entry of the goods into Great Britain must, when accounting for that VAT— i reduce its amount by the amount of the VAT for which that person is also liable in relation to the supply of the same goods by virtue of the supply (or some part of its amount) being treated as taking place before IP completion day, or ii if the liability for the VAT on the supply is greater than the corresponding liability for VAT on the entry of the goods into Great Britain, reduce the amount accounted for in respect of the VAT charged on the entry of the goods into Great Britain to nil; and b any person who would otherwise be entitled to credit under section 25 of VATA 1994 for input tax in respect of the VAT charged on the entry of the goods into Great Britain, is not entitled to such credit for any sum greater than the net amount of that VAT accounted for under sub-paragraph (a). Transitional provision in relation to secondary legislation amended by these Regulations 121 The amendments made by regulation 11(2) to the Value Added Tax (Cars) Order 1992 do not apply where— a a person (“P”) took possession of the used motor car in Great Britain or the Isle of Man before IP completion day and P would have been eligible to opt to account for the VAT chargeable on a supply of the motor car on the profit margin in accordance with article 8 had it been so supplied before IP completion day; and b the ownership of the used motor car remained with P from the time P took possession of it under paragraph (a) to the time of the supply of the motor car on which P elects to account for the VAT chargeable on that supply on the profit margin in accordance with article 8. 122 1 Paragraph (2) applies where— a there is a removal of gold as described in the Value Added Tax (Treatment of Transactions) (No.2) Order 1992 ; and b acquisition VAT would (but for the provisions made in that Order) be charged on or after IP completion day in accordance with transitional provision made in these Regulations or other regulations made under TCTA 2018. 2 Where this paragraph applies, the treatment of the acquisition of gold specified in that Order continues to apply as if the Order had not been amended by these Regulations. 123 1 Paragraph (2) applies where acquisition VAT is charged on or after IP completion day in accordance with transitional provision made in these Regulations or other regulations made under TCTA 2018. 2 Where this paragraph applies, the provisions of the Value Added Tax (Input Tax) Order 1992 concerning the disallowance of input tax in relation to goods acquired in the United Kingdom from a member State in accordance with provisions of VATA 1994 (as it had effect immediately before IP completion day), continue to apply as if the Order had not been amended by these Regulations. 124 The amendment made by regulation 30(5)(c) to the Value Added Tax (Special Provisions) Order 1995 does not apply where— a a person (“P”) took possession of the goods in Great Britain or the Isle of Man before IP completion day and P would have been eligible to opt to account for the VAT chargeable on a supply of the goods on the profit margin in accordance with article 12 of the Order had they been so supplied before IP completion day; and b the ownership of the goods remained with P from the time P took possession of the goods under paragraph (a) to the time of the supply of the goods on which P elects to account for the VAT chargeable on that supply on the profit margin in accordance with article 12 of the Order. 125 1 Subject to paragraph (2), regulation 121D of the Value Added Tax Regulations 1995 additionally applies to goods that are— a transported from the United Kingdom to a member State prior to IP completion day, and remain located in a member State as at IP completion day; or b exported from a member State prior to IP completion day and remain located outside the member States as at IP completion day. 2 For the purposes of paragraph (1), the terms “unpaid” and “paid” in regulation 121D(5) of those Regulations also refer to— a an acquisition of goods in the United Kingdom before the re-importation; b an importation of the goods from outside the member States before the re-importation; c a supply or acquisition of the goods in a member State before the re-importation. 126 In the application of regulation 121D of the Value Added Tax Regulations 1995 to goods which are in the United Kingdom as at IP completion day, the terms “unpaid” and “paid” in paragraph (5) are to have the additional meanings given in regulation 125(2). 127 Regulation 121D of the Value Added Tax Regulations 1995 does not apply to goods supplied at any time to any person pursuant to regulation 131 of those Regulations . 128 1 Paragraph (2) applies where acquisition VAT would, but for the provisions made in the Value Added Tax (Acquisitions) Relief Order 2002 , be charged on or after IP completion day in accordance with transitional provision made in these Regulations or other regulations made under TCTA 2018. 2 Where this paragraph applies, the relief from acquisition VAT provided for in that Order continues to apply as if the Order had not been amended by these Regulations. 129 1 Paragraph (2) applies where— a the Community transport mentioned in Part 2 (goods supplied on board ships, aircraft and trains) of the Value Added Tax (Place of Supply of Goods) Order 2004 (as it had effect immediately before IP completion day) begins before IP completion day; and b the goods to which that Order applies are supplied on or after IP completion day. 2 Where this paragraph applies, the provisions in that Order concerning the place where the supply of goods is treated as taking place, continue to apply as if that Part had not been amended by these Regulations.
