Pursuant to Article 395(1) of Directive 2006/112/EC of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (hereafter ‘the VAT Directive’), the Council, acting unanimously on a proposal from the Commission, may authorise any Member State to apply special measures derogating from the provisions of that Directive in order to simplify the procedure for collecting VAT or to prevent certain forms of tax evasion or avoidance. By letter registered with the Secretariat-General of the Commission on 2 April 2013, the United Kingdom requested authorisation to continue to apply a derogation measure concerning the right of deduction of VAT borne on the hire or lease of motor cars also used for private purposes and granted, for the last time, by Council Decision 2011/37/EU. In accordance with Article 395(2) of Directive 2006/112/EC, the Commission informed the other Member States by letter dated 19 June 2013 of the request made by the United Kingdom. By letter dated 20 June 2013, the Commission notified the United Kingdom that it had all the information necessary to consider the request. |
