## Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order, which comes into force on 10th August 2005, amends the Value Added Tax (Refund of Tax to Museums and Galleries) Order 2001 (“the 2001 Order”). The 2001 Order specifies the bodies that are entitled to claim a refund, under section 33A of the Value Added Tax Act 1994, of the VAT incurred by them that is attributable to the provision of free admission to specified museums and galleries that they operate.
Article 3 amends the Schedule to the 2001 Order so as to include additional bodies, specified in column 1, entitled to claim refunds under section 33A in relation to the museums and galleries, specified in column 2, operated by them. Column 3 specifies the date on or after which section 33A shall have effect in the case of the relevant museum/gallery. These are the earliest respective dates on which a supply, importation or acquisition can have taken place if the VAT incurred on it is to be the subject of a claim for a refund.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business, charities or voluntary bodies.
