Value Added Tax

Guidance

This guidance note provides information about basic tax points. Depending on the order of events in relation to when a supply is made, an invoice is issued and the supply is paid for, a supply may have a basic tax point and one or more actual tax points. Actual tax points can override basic tax points. For information about actual tax points, see the Time of supply ― actual tax points guidance note.

For detailed commentary on the tax point rules, see De Voil Indirect Tax Service V3.131 to V3.143.

When that has been determined the next step is to consider which tax point applies.
