Article 1
By way of derogation from Articles 168 and 169 of Directive 2006/112/EC, the United Kingdom is hereby authorised to restrict to 50 % the right of the hirer or lessee of a car to deduct the VAT on the cost of the hiring or leasing of that car where it is not used entirely for business purposes.
Article 2
By way of derogation from Article 26(1)(a) of Directive 2006/112/EC, the United Kingdom is hereby authorised not to treat as supplies of services for consideration the private use of a business car hired or leased by a taxable person.
Article 3
This Decision shall expire on the day following that on which the Treaties cease to apply to the United Kingdom pursuant to Article 50(3) TEU, or, if a withdrawal agreement concluded with the United Kingdom in accordance with Article 50(2) TEU has entered into force, from the day following that on which the transition period ends, or on 31 December 2022, whichever is the earlier.
Any request for authorisation to extend the derogating measures authorised by this Decision, if applicable, shall be submitted to the Commission by 1 April 2022. The request shall be accompanied by a report which includes a review of the percentage restriction applied on the right to deduct VAT on the cost of hiring or leasing cars not used entirely for business purposes.
