Paragraph 40 Pool VCTS participantI1

The baseline for a VCTS participant which is a pool VCTS participant is calculated as follows.

• Step 1

  Calculate the baseline for each manufacturer which is a member of the pool VCTS participant in accordance with whichever of paragraphs 25 to 39 is applicable to each manufacturer.

• Step 2

  Multiply each baseline calculated in accordance with step 1—

  1. (a)

     by the number of non-ZE vans of which the manufacturer was the manufacturer and which were registered in 2021; or

  2. (b)

     where the manufacturer was not the manufacturer of a van which was registered in 2021, by the number of non-ZE vans of which the manufacturer is the manufacturer and which were registered during the calendar year in which the manufacturer first became a VCTS participant or a member of a pool VCTS participant.

• Step 3

  Add together the numbers resulting from step 2.

• Step 4

  Calculate the total number of non-ZE vans of which the manufacturers which are members of the pool VCTS participant are the manufacturer and which were registered—

  1. (a)

     during 2021; or

  2. (b)

     where the manufacturer was not the manufacturer of a van which was registered in 2021, during the calendar year in which the manufacturer first became a VCTS participant or a member of a pool VCTS participant.

• Step 5

  Divide the number resulting from step 3 by the number resulting from step 4.

The pool VCTS participant’s baseline is the number resulting from step 5.
