Article 43 Participants in the VRTS

The manufacturer of a van which is registered during a scheme year is a VRTS participant for that year, subject to paragraph (2).

Two or more manufacturers of a van which is registered during a scheme year are a pool VRTS participant for that scheme year, where the administrator has granted an application made by those manufacturers under Schedule 5 (application by two or more manufacturers to be a pool participant in the Trading Schemes) for that scheme year which relates to the VRTS.

A VRTS participant is a low-volume VRTS participant for a scheme year where that participant meets the criteria to be treated as a low-volume VRTS participant in accordance with Schedule 4.

Where there is any doubt as to the identification of the manufacturer of a van in accordance with paragraphs (a) to (e) of the definition of “manufacturer” in article 3(1), the administrator may identify the VRTS participant in relation to the registration of that van.
