Detail of outcome

At Budget 2013, the government announced its intention to legislate to allow manufacturers to adjust their VAT to take account of refunds they make to final consumers.

The government ran a consultation from 31 May to 31 August 2013 and sought views on:

• the extent to which manufacturers make such refunds
• the range of circumstances that may give rise to a refund
• how the change should be implemented
• what impact it may have and what administrative burdens it may give rise to

This document examines the responses in detail.
