VAT: simplifying partial exemption and CGS

Last updated: 03/04/2024

  • Following recommendations from the OTS, the government requested comments and suggestions to improve operation of the partial exemption rules and the Capital Goods Scheme (CGS).
  • HMRC introduced an online process for submitting proposals for partial exemption special methods (PESM) and a checklist of information required for PESM applications.
  • HMRC will consult on the impact of the changes and the need for further amendments, including with respect to the CGS.
  • Timing: it is currently not clear when any further changes may take effect.
