▤ Verbatim text from source document

When making sales that are within the scope of a relevant deposit scheme, no VAT will be charged in relation to the deposit amount.

VAT will be accounted for on unreturned deposit amounts by the first seller of a deposit scheme product. The rules for accounting for this VAT will be set out in the subsequent secondary legislation and a VAT Notice.
